Mr. Speaker, I understand that the Canadian proposal in the negotiation, according to newspaper reports, is to give Spain more turbot, more of the share of the Canadian allocation of turbot, in return for agreement from Spain for better enforcement and more accountability for not over-fishing and not using undersized nets, et cetera. I would like to ask the Minister if Spain is given more turbot by Canada under negotiations, what would this do to the opportunities for northern fishermen to get a fair share of a diminishing allocation of turbot within Canada? Thank you.
