Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In regard to the strategic plan that we are expecting to materialize in Hay River between the members of the fishing community with support from the MLA and officials from my department, I am pleased to hear a meeting took place. The idea of a rebate on fuel was raised as one of the elements that could possibly be requested by the fishermen in the meeting I had with them in the spring. There were a number of other issues and points of interest that were raised. I would expect that a package should be developed, some sort of a proposal from the fishermen, that would suggest a number of ways in which this government could act to help make fishing more economically viable and that if a fuel rebate is one of the points that is requested by the fishermen, then we would look at it as part of an overall package at that time. Thank you.
