Thanks, gentlemen.
The three-year management plan was introduced a few years ago--the rolling plan--where there's 975,000 animals that can be taken over a three-year period, basically. On average, that's 325,000 in any one particular year, but allowing rollover between years. I think that has been very helpful to the industry.
I want you to talk a bit about opening and closing times and fleet quotas. The whole objective here is to be able to get as many seals as possible at the best possible price, and to manage the fishery as reasonably as possible. Is it helpful or hurtful to the seal fishery to have different opening and close times, different fleet quotas, and so on?
What do you think, John?
