If these companies have done well for all these years despite the closure of the cod fishery, why give them 6% of the quota? It's the same with the new redfish allocation; if I have time, I'll talk about that later. In the case of cod, why not give 6% of the quota to fleets that are in greater need?
Is that one of the recommendations you made? I remember that, when I was parliamentary secretary, the minister received documents that often presented three options or three scenarios from which he had to choose. These were options that you, the officials, submitted to the minister for him to make the decisions.
Did you recommend to the minister a 6% quota for offshore fishing companies, or was that not part of the recommendations?
