Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you, colleagues. Mr. Speaker, fishermen need better prices for their fish. Allowing NWT fishermen to opt out of the marketing pool and participate in the marketplace on their own may be the only way to achieve this. Fishermen have asked Minister Bell to begin exploring with his federal counterpart, the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, this option. The fishermen have committed to working on this, as well.
I believe that the fishery is getting the attention it deserves from this government at this time and I look forward to working with the Minister and the Fishermen's Taskforce Group to keep this positive momentum moving forward. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
