Thank you, Mr. Chair. I understand that money is used to, like it says, to offset the cost of freight. I know the government is working hard to expand the fishing industry, putting a big investment into this new fish plant. I know that we need more fishermen on the lake. Is this $225,000 going to allow the entrance of new fishermen into the industry? I don't think we need these subsidies forever, but until we get the industry ramped up here, I think we are going to need them. Are we going to need more to allow more fishermen to get into the industry in the near term? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
