If may add to that, Mr. Chairman, many people do not understand that the Department of Fisheries and Oceans exercises authority for the Fisheries Act in all provinces except Quebec. I think it's under this 1922 agreement that Quebec has the authority, which is ordinarily held by DFO. For the first time this morning I understand from Mr. LeBlanc that there may be a hitch in that 1922 agreement that requires both governments to agree in making any change to that. As a result, in order to reduce the licence quotas in Quebec, there needs to be federal intervention or participation or collaboration. That's news to me, and surely that is something that can executed.
