As I said earlier, I hope—and I think the entire committee hopes as well—that we can once again have a commercial fishery, to help fishermen earn a little more income, or even to help them if they want to use that fish as bait.
I will move quickly to my question, since I do not have much time left.
Officials came here on Monday, and they seemed to suggest that there was a mackerel stock found exclusively in the United States, which was considered the southern stock, and a stock in Canada, namely the northern stock. There seem to be many different opinions on this. Are we fishing the same stocks?
As you mentioned earlier, I believe we are fishing a percentage of these same stocks. Can you give us an accurate overview of the situation so that we can fully understand the difference between these two stocks?
