Mr. Chair, that was a great speech. I think all of us on this side appreciated it, so I want to thank my colleague from Saint John for that.
He told us a little bit about how the labour market agreements will be of assistance to fishers. Nobody is denying the fact that many will find themselves in some difficult situations this year. I just wonder if he could also tell us about some other efforts that our department is making in order to reduce the operating costs, provide flexibility and so on so that we could help them on that side as well.
