Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, some people within industry would be of the opinion that part of the problem is that we are locked into a federally-mandated marketing corporation. It is legislated, it is not something we, as a territorial government, have much ability to influence. But some fishermen would say that if they had more flexibility in terms of their ability to export and market the fish themselves, that they could do better than they do currently through the Freshwater Fish Marketing Corporation. Does the Minister, in the foreseeable future, see any opportunity to test whether or not in fact there are markets in southern Canada for Great Slave Lake fish outside of the mandate of the Freshwater Fish Marketing Corporation? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
