Okay. That's fine, and I'll accept an answer in writing. In fact, that would be wonderful.

I have one more question here, which is actually coming from the commercial harvesting sector. Right now we have 400 non-core groundfish licences that are just hanging in limbo, and they'll die with the licence-holders. A recent decision in the Nova Scotia courts was in favour of transferring category B lobster licences.

Will that affect the 400 non-core groundfish licences in terms of transferability in Newfoundland and Labrador?
