As I noted, the difference in the risk to the stock between a rollover, if you were, of a stewardship fishery at 13,000 and the management plan that the minister has put in place is that there is almost no difference. It's a 1% difference between those two. The net effect is, essentially, the same in terms of the risk tolerance for this decision, which is certainly consistent with the fish stock provisions in the Fisheries Act.
