Mr. Speaker, yes. We do recognize the importance of a fishing industry. We have for many years worked closely with the fishermen's association. We continue to work with them. We did develop a strategy and a proposal to realign some of the support we provide. One of those main programs, of course, is the transportation subsidy we provide to get the fish off the lake to the fish plants. I can say without any doubt that that program will certainly continue. The fishing industry currently have the strategy and we are awaiting their response to us. Thank you.
