Thank you, Chair.
Welcome to our guests here today.
As you know, I'm the MP from Miramichi, New Brunswick, so there are many fishing communities in my area. Shippagan and Caraquet certainly neighbour my constituency, and I have lots of concerns from people down there as well.
Mr. MacLean, you mentioned in your introduction that area 19 should be recognized for its uniqueness. I am wondering if you can explain that. Does that have to do with the difference in the stock that you spoke about, or are there other ways in which that area has much more uniqueness to offer?
