Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
First of all, given what we have already heard on the boat stability issue, I would say that in the Magdalen Islands the situation may very well be the same. Indeed, as far as this issue is concerned, the fishers have not necessarily been informed. When I talk about information, I am not simply talking about receiving a letter or something of that type; it is a bit more than that. In other words, this issue should have been documented further so that we could have had a real consultation. I am fully aware of the fact that the Department of Transport has scheduled something else for the next few months. As far as this issue is concerned, I would say that, as things now stand, the fishers are somewhat in the fog. This issue is shrouded in quite a bit of fog. We know that this whole problem is hanging over us, almost like a threat. That is why I think that the information that will be provided to us by the witnesses will enable us to delve further into this matter.
Thank you.
