Indeed, a number of licences were bought back by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and given to the three first nations that are present on the Gaspé Peninsula territory. These are commercial licences. You will have the details in our written presentations, which will be submitted to you tomorrow. In addition, the Listuguj first nation has the equivalent of one commercial fishing licence, i.e. 235 traps, to carry out a subsistence fishery in the fall.
I would like to point out that, in the Gaspé region, in the fall period, lobsters have just reproduced. The females that have been fertilized do not yet bear their eggs. These females, which would allow the renewal of the stocks, are not identifiable among all those caught at that time, contrary to the spring commercial fishing period.
I'll let Mr. Cloutier continue.
