Okay. Thank you.

Minister, I think you've issued two more elver licenses, so that's 11 in total, three of which are first nations, so I think 11% of the licenses are made up of first nations, while Mi'kmaq are only 2.7% of the population. What's the level at which you say, okay, that's enough licences relative to the overall TAC?
