Thank you, Mr. Chair. Part of the fishing strategy moving forward is how do we encompass all seasons of fisheries and to grow the fishing industry to a sustainable level where it becomes viable and economic for the fishermen to make a more substantial living than they are.

One of the challenges moving forward with the whole strategy is going to be how do we get people to fish in the winter. That has to be a vital part of how we move this strategy as the plant needs to be open longer than shorter to make it economical; and when we look at our strategy moving forward there's a number of initiatives that we need to look at to make this thing a viable operation.

The other side of it is I'm from Hay River and it doesn't matter if you put a subsidy or not, you've got to get the people who want to fish. So that's part of the challenge moving forward, and getting people to fish in the wintertime seems to be even a tougher problem, so we're going to have to have a look at how we're going to move this strategy forward and work with the fishermen in Hay River or in the NWT who are in the commercial fishing industry who want to supply the Freshwater Marketing Corporation in a year-round operation. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
