Mr. Speaker, the Economic Development Agency is particularly sensitive to the needs of the Quebec regions, especially the so-called more vulnerable areas with declining populations.
As for the fishing sector, we know that there are fewer fish in Gaspésie at this time. Aquaculture is one of the key prospects for that region.
I was in that very area two weeks ago, confirming to the people there the launch of four aquaculture programs, totaling approximately $981,000.
