Thank you, Mr. Chair.
To Monsieur Cloutier's question about the purpose of the committee, I think it would be great if the chair could comment on that at some point in the agenda, but I know I have limited time, so I'll get right to my questions.
Marc, if I could, I'll ask you my question. I'm wondering if you agree with the past scientific recommendations, those of the biologists, on the snow crab catch levels. Also, did you see these recommendations reflected in the different quota levels over the past few years?
Secondly, what do you think would have been a better way to handle the situation? For instance, what levels or quotas would you have recommended back in 2006, 2007, 2008, last year, and, for instance, this year?
