Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Thanks, folks, for being here today to answer our questions.
We'll go to districts 33 and 34 of the lobster fishery for a minute on the opening and closing of seasons. Probably for the last 10 years, except for this year, every single opening of that season has been put off to a future date, most times because of weather. Weather has a big effect, of course, on our winter fisheries, which continues to happen. The lobster fishery in that area normally opens up on the last Monday of November every year, and of course that gets bumped off for weather reasons.
How does the consultation go with the industry to make sure everybody is on the same page? A lot of times this will affect sales of that product because you're trying to hit the Christmas season, as you said in your opening statement. Sometimes the decision on seasons happens with a consultation with the industry on product and when the market is best for it, and that's what happens in this particular case. I'm wondering how that discussion happens with the industry on weather and other events that continue to happen in and around it.
