Thank you. We share your concerns. Fortunately, the price of shrimps went up this year. From what I understand, our fees are 3¢ cents a pound. Previously, in Quebec, the price was of shrimp was 38¢ a pound; it is now 49¢. In Newfoundland, apparently the price ranges between 50¢ and 57¢ a pound. That's why I think that this year, the problem is being resolved. However the minister has asked us to continue looking into the particular circumstances of the Gulf shrimpers.
