Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Next I have Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I rise on one of my favourite topics, Great Slave Lake fish. Over the last four years, I’ve made many Member’s statements on Great Slave Lake fish. We know it’s a great product. We know there are a lot of hardworking people out there. It’s a great industry, it’s a renewable industry, and it’s one that we haven’t seen the full capacity of. We know we’re not even over half our quota that we can catch on a productive renewable basis.

We’ve made some progress. We now have a business plan in place for those fishermen through ITI. We know that we’ve gotten some capital...

Thank you, Mr. Buy. Mr. Dolynny.

Thank you. Committee, we are on page 32, budget, treasury and debt management, infrastructure investments, $91 million. Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. Mr. Beaulieu.
