Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development. This question is with respect to the fishery at Tathlina Lake and at Kakisa Lake. You will recall my concerns raised in my Member's statement earlier. Mr. Speaker, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, as well as the community of Kakisa, are doing their part to ensure the fish in the lakes survive. The community is prepared to stop fishing for one, two or even three years to try to ensure the fish and the lakes survive. Mr. Speaker, the residents of Kakisa would forego a valuable resource from their traditional harvest of fish and commercial fisheries.

I would like to ask the Minister if this government is willing to do their part and provide a compensation package to the residents of Kakisa should they deem it necessary to implement a self-imposed moratorium on any fishing on Tathlina or Kakisa Lakes. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
