Thank you very much.
Well, we'll go on from there.
The other side of my riding is the Northumberland Strait. In that area, we've seen an incredible decline in the lobster stocks. Fishermen there have gone to work in Alberta in the oil fields to help pay their grocery bills and buy their fuel for their fishing boats.
I notice in the notes here that the Department of Fisheries and Oceans has recently announced several significant amounts of research money--$61 million, and a little while ago $39 million. Is there a focus on the problem in the Northumberland Strait, where the lobster fishery has virtually evaporated?
