Mr. Speaker, all fisheries are important. All conservation measures are intended to make sure that we maintain a healthy stock. That is the responsibility of DFO. With respect to the capelin decision, we are reviewing the science. We will be coming out very soon with a determination for the harvesters in the coming weeks.

Madam Chair, I am happy to say we heard the member of Parliament and we took action. We had a discussion with all of the stakeholders on the capelin fishery. That fishery started five days ahead of planned, and we are now considering the April 1 opening date that the member and the two weir fishers have requested. I think the department and I have been very responsive, and I am happy to have done that.
