Thank you, Mr. Cormier, for the question.
I will say that COVID-19 has impacted our fish and seafood processors and our harvesters in an extremely difficult way. We have seen a decline in our export markets.
One of the things we did last year, when we realized relatively early on in the pandemic that the fish and seafood industry was going to be impacted—it was one of the first to be affected—was to put in place the Canadian seafood stabilization fund. The fund allowed processors to pivot from a fresh market product to one they could store longer. We recognized that they didn't have that ability. The fund also allowed them to do value-added and to look for new markets.
In addition, we changed the fund that was actually put in place to promote seafood in other countries so that we could promote it in Canada. We are seeing an increase in the amount of seafood being consumed in Canada. I will say that it was Canadians who stepped up to help our seafood producers and our fishers last year. I think that was extremely significant.
