Thank you very much. I appreciate that.
In any sector, if you could go back to the previous year, it can be used as a pilot project, and that would relieve a lot of the financial stress in the fishing industry and in other industries across the country.
Mr. LeClair, first I'll ask you about rationalization. My concern about rationalization is that there has been a lot of discussion here on it and the industry involved. It's awfully difficult for me to understand somebody who's going broke being able to help financially in rationalization.
I'd like your opinion, but I just want to give you where I am coming from. I think that each LFA can vote. I don't know...in LFA 24, which probably has the lowest carapace size in the country--we hear of carapace-size talk--it's the most successful fishery in the country. But each area has different problems.
I'd like to have your view on rationalization and how it should be done--possibly trap reduction. That's where I'd like you to go, and I would like the other ministers to respond, too.
