Thank you very much again, Mr. Chairman.

I have a question, out of ignorance. A few years ago some officials from Nova Scotia and DFO went to New Zealand and talked about the ITQ systems. Madam Ridgeway, do the systems of management of fisheries--ITQs, IVQs, and so on--fall into your portfolios in any way? We have a common property resource. New Zealand and Iceland have ITQ systems in that regard. Does that fall under your jurisdiction at all, in that regard?
