Mr. Chair, I would like to ask the minister if she thinks that maybe the capelin might be over-foraged. We've heard the expression “forage fish” quite a bit, and we've seen herring in the Pacific and in Atlantic Canada and a mackerel fishery in Atlantic Canada being shut down this year. Are we on the brink of a decision like that for the Gulf of St. Lawrence? Is that what this is all about?
