Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Good afternoon, everyone.

I want to discuss the decision-making process for phase 2 of the exploratory lobster fishing licences.

Deputy Minister, you said that you were conducting analyses, but I'd like more details. Where exactly are you? I imagine the scientific opinion must have come out. Has the scientific opinion already been sent out?

See context to find out what was said next.
