Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Of course, we are very limited by our resources, the money we have to manage the various parts of the department and for the department as a whole. If there are ways of doing it, one might be to use our fire crews to do some of that kind of work of establishing areas, then I would be willing to look at doing that. We would need to work closely with the community to identify what areas they would agree to us developing and encouraging fishermen to use, but I think the biggest challenge for us this year is going to be to find the money to be able to do it. Having said that, we will continue to negotiate with the federal government on an EDA agreement, try to get some tourism money and so on. I cannot promise anything right now. It is a good idea but we do not have the resources in here.
