Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I thank the Minister very much with that commitment and will look forward to seeing the results of that. One of the other questions that the fishermen themselves have wanted me to ask is in regards to one of their major operating costs of fishing on Great Slave Lake and that is the cost of fuel. I know that there has been some preliminary discussion about the tax that is levied on fuel which in fact relates to roads. Of course, their vehicles are not driven on roads. They are on the water. I was wondering if the Minister could tell us what process would be involved in addressing the issue of tax on fuel and perhaps implementing a gas at a price similar to what farmers pay in southern Canada, something known as a purple gas. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
