Thank you, Mr. Bliss and Mr. Doucet, for your testimony. It's greatly appreciated.
I'll just start with a couple of questions. We've seen huge fluctuations in numbers of striped bass in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence. In your view, what has led to the fluctuations in the striped bass population? Is there a risk to the health of the ecosystem, caused by the fluctuating striped bass population?
Maybe Mr. Bliss can answer that.
