Thank you.

I'm going to read the presentation they made to this committee back in June:

The Spawn on Kelp Operators Association respectfully requests that the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans consider funding a spawn-on-kelp licence rationalization plan proposal based on Marshall.

I know it is a big case. Could you give us a very brief explanation of what the Marshall decision would mean to the spawn-on-kelp operators? Would it solve their problem, or would it create other problems?

See context to find out what was said next.
