These can sometimes be unforeseen circumstances, as we saw in the case of ice on the Atlantic coast, a region that is geographically a bit closer to the riding of my colleague, Alexis Deschênes, whom I am replacing today, than to mine. In such cases, do you consider that the communities and groups of fishers in the various sectors affected by these conditions are sufficiently taken into account in the consultations prior to the opening?
Is there some degree of flexibility or agility to adapt to unforeseen circumstances that may arise at the beginning or before the start of the fishing season?
