As I have said in the House, we work very closely with the Tu Cho Co-operative fishermen. We continually meet with them on a regular basis as the plant has moved forward. As all the Members know in this House, the plant is out for tender right now as we speak. We have already bought some of the equipment for this thing. Minister Moses announced a number of funding projects yesterday, and one of them is actually for the lift station to support this plant in Hay River, and we will continue to work with the Tu Cho fishery going forward. We are supporting them and will be assisting them with the manager of the fish operations of their plant. That is going to be developed around their business plan. They don't want to be locked down by some long-term person who we want to put in there. We have to continue to work in partnership and collaboration with the fishermen. We will continue to do that.
