First, I'll speak in relation to the Marine Mammal Protection Act, or MMPA. In terms of context, this act was introduced during the Nixon era in the United States. Only more recently was it enforced in particular provisions around the protection of marine mammals as they relate to the importation of fish and seafood products to the United States. The act requires that those importing fish and seafood to the United States have a regime comparable, in terms of the efficacy of measures, to the United States regime. This means, for example, that when we export snow crab to the United States, we have measures in place to protect North Atlantic right whales, which are endangered. The measures we have may not be identical to those in the United States but are seen, in their eyes, as equally as effective.
In terms of what DFO is doing, the United States has requested information from us to ensure it is comparable with the measures they have. We've provided them with all of that information and replied to various inquiries. They have, however, delayed the implementation of this for another year. The deadline was supposed to be in November of last year, and they have extended that. However, we remain, as far as we know, in compliance. We're working with our U.S. counterparts in that regard, to ensure that our products can continue to be exported to the United States.
