Thank you.
So what we were told was that the effects of no funding.... And I'm not saying no funding. We still gave $400,000 this year from a collapsing fishery, due to international markets. If there were no surveys, there would be no updating on the new stock assessment model, there would be a decrease in confidence, and there will be a decrease in quotas.
This is a fishery that's given millions of dollars over the last ten years, cooperatively, to our partners in DFO. And now, because of economic returns that aren't there in the fishery because of illegal Russian fishing, we've been sort of left with no opportunities to fund our science. So we fully support this demand.
I appreciate you giving me just a little extra time. Thank you.
