Thank you, Chair.
I'm going to change up my question here, last minute. I hope this wasn't already answered.
I'm wondering, Mr. LeBlanc, if you can expand upon.... In your opening statement to us, you mentioned that DFO's decision to close the herring and mackerel fishery this spring without a science-based rebuilding program bewildered many in the industry.
Can you expand a bit on the importance of the science-based rebuilding programs when making decisions within fisheries?
