That is right, Mr President. I thank Hon Bruce Donaldson for the question. (1)-(2) The Western Australian government certainly supports the Western Australian Fishing Industry Council in its bid to break into the European market and other markets. As we have in many other forums, we will be supplying funding to support the industry in its representation at this forum. We will make a decision on whether that representation includes any member from this chamber or from the Department of Fisheries. We have already entered into discussions with WAFIC on how many people it wants represented at the forum. As the member is well aware, we want to promote Brand WA as a premium seafood exporter.
