Therefore, we listened and we responded with a modest program to assist those with low income and who would suffer the largest revenue decline in 2008. Fair criteria were established and in a very short time, over $7 million has gone out to more than 1,000 fishers in Atlantic Canada and Quebec. </p>",

Nous les avons \u00e9cout\u00e9s et avons con\u00e7u un programme modeste pour aider les p\u00eacheurs qui avaient enregistr\u00e9 de faibles revenus et qui allaient subir la plus grosse baisse de revenu en 2008. Des crit\u00e8res \u00e9quitables ont \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9tablis et, en tr\u00e8s peu de temps, plus de 7 millions de dollars ont \u00e9t\u00e9 distribu\u00e9s \u00e0 plus de 1 000 p\u00eacheurs du Qu\u00e9bec et des provinces atlantiques.</p>"
