Fisheries committee  Thank you.

Fisheries committee  Doug.

Fisheries committee  The hundred staff are for enforcement in the gulf region. That's the enforcement side. It's not the science and—

Fisheries committee  The allocation for the first nations communities is 50,000 striped bass: 25,000 in the spring and 25,000 in the fall.

Fisheries committee  It's calculated by working through our science and our resource management folks to find a model that would allow for sufficient fish to be viable, but also to give us a good idea of the impact on the population as a whole.

Fisheries committee  We haven't, to this point, but it's something we're exploring, yes.

Fisheries committee  Thank you for the question. At this point in time, we're working with our proponents, the North Shore Micmac District Council, on a proposal exactly to that effect. Once we receive the proposal from the work group, we'll be able to—
