I'll try to be quick. Let me just point out, though, that we will have new science available in February 2015 on the status of northern shrimp stocks in areas 1 to 6. Nevertheless, NAFO did make a decision to effectively close that fishery this year. As I'm sure the member will know, Mr. Chair, the issue of the LIFO policy has been with us since 1995 at least. We did unfortunately have some shrimp reductions this year. LIFO was applied. We'll wait and see what the science advice tells us in 2015, and we'll put advice to the minister as to how she wants to proceed.
On December 2nd, 2014. See this statement in context.
