Do you support one fishing season? I recognize that all the different LFAs have different seasons, but within those LFAs, do you support one fishing season as the Government of Canada works towards the moderate livelihood?

I'll point out that the Marshall decision upheld this. The 1999 fisheries committee also recommended this. Today, MP Wayne Easter is also saying that this should be the policy.

Is that your policy?
