Fisheries committee  Those understandings covered last season, so not this coming season. I think this minister and the previous minister as well as the department were very clear that the fishing that takes place under these licences needs to take place in the regulated DFO seasons.

Fisheries committee  Any licences that they receive from us, for moderate livelihood or other purposes, will be inside the regulated season, except for food, social and ceremonial, which has its own system.

Fisheries committee  Yes, that's right. I'm not sure what the question is.

Fisheries committee  Yes.

Fisheries committee  As you can imagine, this is something that involves not just our department.

Fisheries committee  We're working with all our various partners: provincial, since obviously they have the jurisdiction over processing; the CRA; and some federal partners on this.
