The members opposite are now calling for a similar program after criticizing the original one. So they should not ask us for something similar.</p>\n<p>We are aware that the situation is a serious one, because the fish did not come back as we had hoped. The ministers in our government concerned by this problem are working very hard at this time to ensure we will have a humanitarian approach to helping the people in this difficult situation after the month of August.</p>",
