Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In the budget address, there was reference made to the need to look at the rates and fees charged across government in our initial review as we were looking at putting the budget together. Fees and rates charged have not been touched in many cases for decades, as is the case with fishing licences. The intent and plan is across departments, including ENR with fishing licences, to look at the costs and look at a way in a carefully planned way with thorough consultation to make the rates more realistic and in tune with the 21st century. Thank you.
