—Labrador Fishermen's Union Shrimp Company lands its fish in Port Hawkesbury.

Thank you for the protection, Mr. Chair, as we say.

I often remark that intra-fishers are the heart and soul of the Labrador Fishermen's Union Shrimp Company. Occasionally the Labrador Fishermen's Union Shrimp Company land their shrimp in Port Hawkesbury, Nova Scotia.

There are choices to be made, but we as public stewards have choices that we have to make as well.
