Indeed. They were quite exemplary in their professionalism and in their jobs. Please pass on my congratulations.
The other issue at this point is that we have the crab season open in northeastern Newfoundland and we have a big problem with the ice. As the coast guard points out, it is the worst they've seen in over 15 years. In the past there has been a precedent to extend EI claims. I know it is not your department, but there was some involvement, from what I understand, with DFO in the past about extending EI claims for fishermen affected by the amount of ice.
Do you have any comment on that?
