Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and certainly there are challenges to developing any kind of industry. My understanding of the fishery as well is that it has been in decline, but there are hard-working people trying to keep it alive, so our government can help do that. I think we are obliged to do so, and it's low-hanging fruit. We have some of the best fish stock in the world and it's a product in high demand. So again, I would just like to reiterate that the Standing Committee on Priorities and Planning is firmly behind the idea of enriching this fund and supporting our fishing industry, and again low-hanging fruit for expansion of a diversified economy, and we continue to stand on that principle. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
