Thank you.

My question is for Ms. Carruthers.

In the recent mackerel advisory meetings in Halifax, data was provided that grey seals are consuming mackerel. These samples were taken in the wintertime. Their diet was 47% mackerel. We know that mackerel is under a moratorium. We know that, in the wintertime, mackerel is supposed to be in the Hudson basin east of New York.

What does that tell us, Ms. Carruthers?
