Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My questions will focus mainly on redfish fishing.
For my colleagues in attendance and the people watching today, I would like you to give us an overview of all the steps involved in closing and reopening a fishery like the redfish fishery, for example, which was closed for almost 30 years.
What decisions are made before public servants recommend an action plan to the minister? How are the quotas distributed? Do historical shares come into play? Is new access being considered? In short, normally when a fishery is closed, how is that process determined and what steps are involved?
