Thank you, Minister.
It is true that it's a very interesting and tricky question for us to address, because the needs on both sides of the equation are real. As of course the needs for the fish are real. So we have put in place a small working group with a facilitator made up of the recreational fishers and the commercial side to work through. What we have instructed is that there are no limits to the things that they can consider in terms of sharing the allocation and that we will do the policy analysis behind what is suggested.
So that work is ongoing. It's not going as quickly as we might like. The questions are difficult; sometimes we have to step aside because the fishing season is very active and people are on the water.
But there was a meeting very recently and there is another one coming up between the two groups to see if we can reach some kind of consensus for a recommendation to the minister.
