Yes. Thank you.
In some fisheries, the industry is the primary purveyor of fishery science. For shrimp, for example, the industry has been doing the fish surveys for 20 years and it has never missed a beat. However, in the eastern Arctic for turbot, the government has been relying on Greenland for a vessel. In recent years, there have been challenges securing that vessel. We don't have our own vessel to use. It resulted in four years of data gaps. That's obviously troubling. The survey occurred this past fall, using the Greenland vessel.
In other fisheries, we've been relying on aging Coast Guard vessels. The new ones have now come on stream. They've had some challenges in commissioning and things like that.
Hopefully the worst is behind us, but we're still very concerned. The government needs to have a backup plan in case is has problems. It needs to give us enough notice so that we can use one of our vessels. We can configure it the exact same way as a Coast Guard vessel. If you give us a month's notice, we can probably make it happen. If you give us three days, it's not possible.
