Certainly. He is more than welcome to make the points. This sub-committee was established to create a forum where we could hear the thoughts, proposals and concerns of various interest groups, specifically including island communities and small rural coastal communities that are not part of the bigger offshore fishing industry. That is the whole purpose of this sub-committee, so in order for us to feed in something useful we need to hear from the stakeholders. We will try to come up with a report that acknowledges those concerns and see if harmony can be achieved between them all.
Mr. O'Brien is welcome to contribute.
