Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I thank the three of you for your very interesting presentations today.
Am I right in hearing you, Mr. Applebaum, in talking about how NAFO actually worked, say that Canada--I hesitate to say “paid for votes”--in order to get certain decisions through, took action that actually resulted in the quotas being raised? If that is the case, would it not have contributed to the fact that most of these stocks ended up in a moratorium because they ended up being overfished even if they were following the rules?
