Mr. Chairman, when Mr. Delorey asked me this question before, I believe in committee, I said that I would look at whether or not there was a way of doing it. I am pleased to say that I have found enough money to be able to give fishermen the same size of fuel rebate per commercial fishermen as we are giving to the trappers. It will be based on the numbers. They will have to catch and sell at least $500 worth of fish in order to be eligible. They will have to have a commercial licence and we are also extending that program not only to the Great Slave Lake fisheries but to commercial fishermen from Kakisa and the other areas of the Territories.
