We have funds to implement species at risk. We have gone through a process as a result of the previous listing process, or advice, from COSEWIC to look at cod rebuilding plans. We have seen some success in some areas and, certainly, none in other areas. We have continuous challenges in terms of very high natural mortalities in the southern gulf, for example, in the Scotian Shelf, and in the northern gulf. There have been a little bit more positive signs, but just preliminary, on the northern cod. But we'll have to review those rebuilding plans once we receive the COSEWIC advice in an official forum and determine what the response of the government will be.
