Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to follow up on MP Arnold's question. I'm curious. Why, when the lower end was 85 or 88 kilotons and the upper end by science was 312, did the minister's press release not say there would be at least 85 or 88 kilotons as opposed to the arbitrary number of 25 that was picked. To me, that seems very arbitrary and totally unrelated to science.
I can guarantee you that in Nova Scotia the plants are ready to go to process the fish, so that's not a barrier. There seems to be a massive disconnect. There is this minimum of 25, and it feels as though it's going to be like pulling teeth to get fisheries to go above that even when the science is saying to do something much larger.
