Mr. Chair, congratulations on your election. I also want to congratulate the vice-chairs.
There is a lot of talk about salmon, lobster and crab. Can we talk about the beluga? Up north, along the coast of Hudson Bay, along the coast of Ungava Bay, and probably in Nunavut as well—I have not checked—there are problems with the allocation of beluga quotas, because of the location of some villages.
Quotas are calculated, but they end up discriminating against certain villages that are farther away from the beluga passage. These people are very dependent on the beluga for their survival. It is one of their main sources of food. It may not take long, but I think we should consider hearing from the people in charge of the quotas to see whether anything can be done.
