Mr. Speaker, as the hon. member knows, the crab fishery in Atlantic Canada is a case of peaks and valleys. In this particular case, we are very fortunate that we have a peak. As a result, there has been a major increase in the quota. We are very pleased with it.
As he has pointed out, this year the fishers in that particular area will see a $43 million fishery. That is an increase of $30 million. As the fishery moves along from one year to the next things may change, but we are very pleased to have come up with this format. It is a good one.
