Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for Minister Kakfwi, the Minister of Renewable Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development. It is in relationship to the fishermen and the resources that we have with fish in Great Slave Lake. We do have a tremendous resource there. This industry can provide a lot of employment, but the organization seems to be having its difficulties. Last year, the fishermen came to Yellowknife from Hay River and met with the Minister to discuss their difficulties. To the best of my knowledge not a lot of progress has happened since then to improve this industry. I understand that we are having difficulties getting prices for the fish that would make it economic for the fishermen to continue their occupation. I wonder if the Minister could tell us what this government is doing in terms of assisting the fishermen to develop their industry and make their occupation viable? Thank you.
