Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is true that we met with the fishermen and their representatives last spring. The offer was made to the fishermen at that time that if they wish to see some action being taken to continue to see fishing as a viable economic activity, then they should take ownership of that initiative and tell me in very clear, simple terms what they want done and what it is that they are prepared to do in partnership with myself and the government in order to continue to make fishing an economic viable activity. I have left the fishermen to work with the MLA from Hay River who offered her assistance to work with officials from my department to come up with a plan and some suggestions on what they think is required in order to get that piece of work started. The work is still with them. I have not heard since. Thank you.
