I'm familiar with the policy, but I would want to know the history of licences' being made permanent as a result of the process and whatever species the process was used for more so than the policy. I understand the policy, and the legitimacy of it is a pragmatic way, a reasonable way, for the department to both introduce new species to the marketplace and open up areas that have not traditionally been fished.
That's not my question. My question is on results and the licences that are now permanent as a result of that process—where they are in the east coast and for what species. If you could provide the committee with that information.... I know you wouldn't have it today.
The second part is to advise the committee on the scope of a commercial lobster fishery that existed in the three zones that were referenced—zones 17, 18 and 19—the size of that. Do you have that information, or does one of your colleagues?
