Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So, Mr. Chair, industry, tourism and investment does have a robust program to support people who want to get into fishing in the Northwest Territories, that they are able to support with equipment that people might need. And then in addition to that, education, culture and employment also does have a wage subsidy program if fishers are wanting to hire deck hands, and so there's a training component there as well and able to kind of do some succession planning for future fishers. Industry, tourism and investment has also been investing in a winter fishery to make it more of a year-round sector as well and because traditionally it has been looked at as more of a summertime program. And then in addition to that, ITI also provides incentives to fishers who are doing kind of the most catch throughout the territory. And currently, for this year, we're looking at different options and programs for the by-products of fish in the territory. So an example of that is fertilizer, for example, using fish by-product as well. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
