Thank you, Mr. Minister. I commented before when you appeared before the committee that it's always a pleasure to have you here, and certainly it's interesting to find out how things have changed. The view of the room has changed, from where you used to sit, in this chair, to where you're sitting in that chair. It's interesting to find out how your view of some issues may have changed over the last number of months.
I addressed this question about the Atlantic salmon endowment fund to Mr. Murray last week, trying to seek some clarification as to the difference between the announcement made in Fredericton last month, when you and regional minister Thompson and ACOA minister MacKay made the announcement of the investment in Atlantic salmon, and the announcement work-up that was made the year prior, when there was an agreement ready to be signed and then we were thrown into the election.
Is there a great difference between what was being done—what the eventual deal was linked with—and the initiative going forward? Could you maybe spell out the differences?
