We're studying the shrimp fishery. This year, we've intensified our scientific discussions with shrimp harvesters to be able to make a decision more quickly for the 2024 season. We will also be meeting with the fishers later this week.
As you know, Fisheries and Oceans Canada offers a lot of programs for various fishing groups. We're working with Quebec and our colleagues in other federal departments to find the best ways to support fishers. Fisheries and Oceans Canada is studying the measures that could be used to support fishers once the decision on the 2024 fishing season has been made.
If the situation makes it difficult to pay for the usual expenses related to this fishery, such as gas, we will put measures in place to provide a little more flexibility. We're also looking at how fishers can work together. One thing we've done is introduce a buddy system.
