I know that we had an income support program two years ago because of unusual circumstances. I know we verify ice conditions every day, and so far I can say that the ice conditions are not having a negative impact on fishers, so the ice is not a factor.
I definitely cannot speak on behalf of the minister and what she may or may not have said in the House of Commons. Where those discussions would be warranted, we will have them, but so far, the ice conditions do not warrant our having those discussions.
When we did have such a program, in 2007, the conditions were very different.
