Fisheries committee  You're saying that if we don't stop commercial fishing, there's almost no chance that we'll see those populations of salmon coming back in our rivers. Is that right?

Fisheries committee  I have just a quick question for Ms. Morton, if I have time.

Fisheries committee  Thank you very much.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mrs. Desbiens. Ms. Morton, since we have this study, there seems to be a disconnect between your group of scientists and scientists from DFO. Is that correct?

Fisheries committee  It's more management.

Fisheries committee  I'm not sure if it's me or you who is cutting out. What do you think will be the solution for having confidence in science again for some of our group? There were some decisions lately in our region regarding shrimp, mackerel or herring, and a lot of groups from the industry or

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mrs. Desbiens.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. My question will be for Mr. Sullivan. Let's talk about shrimp for a minute. As you know, I have close to 15 shrimp fishermen here in the region who were impacted by the quota drop this year in the shrimp fisheries. Let's do some math here. What do you th

Fisheries committee  I understand. I think that for us here in New Brunswick the licence fee goes up by the pound or by the quota you have. It's a little different, I think. Is that right?

Fisheries committee  I also see that you're asking for a little more science with DFO on the shrimp fisheries. Is that right?

Fisheries committee  For next year, what do you think we should do regarding the quota?

Fisheries committee  Okay. Thanks. I think my time is up.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I thank the witnesses for joining us. I will first turn to Mr. Lanteigne and Ms. Roussel. I have so many questions to ask, but I have only 10 minutes. Mr. Lanteigne and Ms. Roussel, we often have an opportunity to talk. I want to discuss shrimp with you t
