Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I have to thank the Minister for following up on my concerns with the allocation of the shrimp stocks and the fishing stocks off of Baffin Island and the Nunavut settlement region. Has the Department of Fisheries, responded to the Minister? I know the Minister has said we have made our points to them to take our points into consideration. That happened last year, Mr. Chairman, and indeed Nunavut Tungavik Incorporated actually had to take the Department of Federal Fisheries to court and actually won a decision because they had not taken into consideration NTI's position. Has the Department of Fisheries come back with a positive response to the conversations and the contact that the Minister's department has had with our federal counterparts? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
