Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The turbot fishery of Nunavut has increased dramatically over the last few years and has provided much employment and cash income for people of the Baffin region specifically. I am wondering will the Minister be bringing the issue of the turbot quotas up at his meeting specifically next week in Victoria with the federal Fisheries Minister and to see, indeed, if the total allowable catch which was granted could actually be increased which is what we have been asking for? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
