Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to our guests for being here this morning.

I'd like to ask Ms. Sauvé some questions about the Arctic fishing industry, nascent as it may be.

You mentioned that you didn't think there would be a commercially viable, or it was doubtful there'd soon be a commercially viable fishing industry in the Arctic Ocean. Can you tell us why that is? If I have that wrong, could you let me know when you think that might develop?
