I hear all of the discussion points that our colleagues are mentioning, but as I entered into this committee in early fall, this committee already had two studies under way, the northern cod study and the Atlantic salmon study. But pursuant to a letter drafted to this committee by both the Minister of Transport and the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard instructing the committee to review the Fisheries Act and giving a specific time frame, this committee at that time...and if you remember, at the very first meeting I suggested that perhaps we should get our priorities in place.
We have three studies under way. This study of marine protected areas, I think, is a valuable endeavour for us to move forward with. It's something that we could do fairly easily.
