Thank you.
I just wanted to ask a quick question concerning the factors that were identified by the task force assembled back in 2005 by the Canadian Council of Fisheries and Aquaculture Ministers.
In their report, they commented on some of the challenges facing your industry. They're talking about cyclical weakening of the primary markets in the U.S. and Japan, the cost price squeeze because of the appreciation of the Canadian dollar, and sharp fuel cost increases. So your industry is bearing those costs as well.
Would you care to comment on whether you agree with these factors, or other factors that are stressing fishermen? Are you saying income is down because of some of these factors? I think I heard you say that the cost had currently gone back up, so could you comment on the relevance of those factors in the current fishery?
