Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
Good afternoon, Mr. Brun.
I think it's important to look at short-term actions as well as medium- and long-term actions. I'm going to start with very short-term actions. We are really about to start the next fishing season in some areas. In the region I represent, Gaspé and the Magdalen Islands, it's a matter of days. Based on the information you're giving us, we can reasonably fear that there will be some lay-offs. They won't necessarily be reflected in the number of boats or the species harvested because, if there are fewer deckhands, that doesn't necessarily mean there will be fewer catches.
You expect that there will be 300 fewer deckhands this season. Do you think that's a situation that will spread everywhere, or does that depend on the areas or locations?
