Fisheries committee  Our province is continuing to help groundfish fishermen. That is a problem that we have been trying to solve since 1993; it is a long process. Clearly, the decisions that were announced this week caught us a bit off guard. For a few years now, we have been working with people at home to create a rationalization program, a reintegration program.

Fisheries committee  My name is Joseph Labelle, and I'm a senior adviser with the Department of Fisheries in New Brunswick.
