Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is for the deputy minister.
We've had announcements that the vessels to be used for cod and capelin surveys this fall and winter won't be ready, even though it was promised they'd be ready.
In setting the upcoming northern cod quotas, will you put more emphasis on logbook data from harvesters, which shows tremendous catch rates over the past three years? Actually, they're accelerating. Will you place more emphasis on the data you have from harvesters to make up for the data missing from the trawl surveys?
