Thanks, Mr. Chair.

I have two questions, Minister.

In your remarks earlier you mentioned marine protected areas. Is DFO on track with its commitment to implement the promised number of MPAs by 2012?

My second question goes back to the halibut allocation between the commercial and sport fishers. You gave some background that was very helpful. I'm just wondering if you can provide specifics. What is being done at the table to resolve the issue between the two sectors and get to a fairer process and a fairer allocation of halibut?
