Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to our witnesses.

I'll start with you, Ms. Morissette. You mentioned the Alaska fishery. There's something positionally unique about the Alaska fishery when it comes to Pacific salmon. They get first crack at the fish coming back to spawn. The circulation of the fish is basically clockwise, and it comes down to Alaska. The Canadian fishers are kind of left with whatever is left over.

Is the Alaska fishery a good model to look at when we're considering northern cod?
