Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, under Fisheries, I raise some concerns with the allocation for the shrimp quota and some other areas concerning the quotas of fish. The situation is that, indeed, the federal Fisheries department has been allocating more fish per quota in straddling areas and stocks adjacent to Baffin Island and Nunavut region. Our concern, Mr. Chairman, is indeed to make sure that fish, which is located in our waters, is allocated to our fishermen. Can the Minister at this time update us on the status of the fisheries' quotas? Did we get the quota that we had asked for? Is the Minister lobbying the Department of Fisheries to make sure the Nunavut fishing interests are represented at the federal table? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
