Great, thank you.
I have one last question for you. I think I have a few seconds or a minute left to do so.
Another issue I raised with you and that the committee has examined in previous studies is the shrimp fishery. As you know, it's very challenging. Shrimp stocks have been declining for a few years now. Some fishers have been forced to sell their licences or give up fishing altogether.
However, a 10% share of the redfish resource was allocated to shrimpers. The 60% that was allocated to the larger fleets has not been fished at all in the past two years.
Is your department prepared to consider, once again, the possibility of perhaps sharing more equitably by allocating quotas to other fleets so that they can survive? There are fleets that don't fish that resource right now. The resource is available. Is that something you could address?
