Thank you, Mr. Jackman and Mr. Lewis, for coming here today.
I've got three questions. We just talked about the MOU, but prior to that you talked about the fishing renewal strategy. You listed a number of items that the federal government offered up that they were going to do. One of them was on the collateral issue. Have the rest of those items been addressed to your satisfaction?
My second question is with regard to a fisheries loan board, or a structure similar to a fisheries loan board. Here the federal government could also play a role in trying to get a little more harvester and processor separation. Is that something your department would encourage, and would you be able to bring some money to the table?
