Thank you, Madam Chair. The plant plays into the larger fish strategy revitalization for Great Slave. We have been working in conjunction with a lot of the fishers, the Tu Cho Fishers Cooperative, other external parties. We are working with Memorial University on reducing the plant size so that we can meet the $9 million, which I'm sure you're all familiar with. The goal here is to build a fish plant in Hay River. That was what came out of the strategy that was tabled in the House in March of 2017, and that was part of the strategy. I hear from numerous fishers who do want the fish plant, including other Members in the House, as well, so the plan right now is for the $9 million to be used for the plant. My understanding would be that we would need to use it in that manner. However if there is the option for flexibility and we decide it's not the way to go, then we would look to explore whether we could use the money elsewhere. I will commit to the Member that we will note his concerns, and I will take them back to the department, and we will incorporate them as we go forward in our planning. Thank you, Madam Chair.
