Certainly, the framework assessment that was done in the fall adjusted the limit reference point. It essentially lowered the limit reference point based, as my colleague noted, on further evidence about the level from which the stocks continue to have productivity to rebuild, and the stock has been stable since 2016. Certainly, we continue to have concern about the stock, which is why we have put in place strong measures to protect the stock within the Canadian fishery, and that's also why we have negotiated those strong measures at NAFO to continue protecting the stock, to ensure that it will continue to grow in the coming years and to further increase the economic benefits that would flow to the harvesting sector.
