Thank you.
Mr. Allain, you talked about the east coast fisheries' commitment to conservation, and Ms. Burridge actually gave numbers, for example, of what various fisheries support in terms of fisheries science. In actual numbers, it sounds as though the B.C. industry is highly organized to levy the commercial fishery for good sound science to conserve fish.
Is there a similar system in eastern Canada whereby there is an organized levy on existing commercial fisheries and the funds are spent directly on sophisticated fisheries management for those fisheries?
