It is a matter of urgency in the Atlantic—the Atlantic Ocean, not the Atlantic provinces—and I think if we look at a study there it would help give us a sense of what we can do further on down the line, if it becomes an urgent issue in the Pacific as well. I'm not saying it's not urgent right now in the Pacific, but in terms of the Atlantic, we've had to make a reduction of 18%. I've just consulted with my DFO colleagues and they've said it isn't quite the same urgency in the Pacific yet, but this study will help us in that, if we can figure out what we can do in the Atlantic, it will probably be applicable as well to the Pacific.
This was meant to be the Atlantic Ocean, not the Atlantic provinces. By no means do I want to exclude Quebec. I understand that many Mi'kmaq fishermen from Listuguj, Quebec, are also facing the same problems. I understand that, and I'm okay with the amendment.
