I continue to and will always advocate for support for the industry. I think it's actually an opportunity to have conversations around what worked incredibly well with the fisheries fund, regardless of the label in the country: what worked well, what it is that we have achieved, and what other objectives and emerging objectives we need to look at. Our stresses are different from what they were two or three years ago. I think it's a real opportunity to evaluate.
I have been having active conversations with my counterparts across provinces and territories. I am having conversations with harvesters within the industry, because I think it's an opportunity for us to look at what we need as we go forward. Therefore, I don't see this as a loss. I see it as a chance for us to pause and really do an evaluation.
