Thank you.
You gentlemen don't look like you just fell off the turnip truck. You don't look like you were hoodwinked. It doesn't sound like this was imposed on you by the big, bad Justin Trudeau. We know that certainly New Democrats pushed for the investment tax credit so that we could match what the Biden government is doing. I hope that it gets to Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia quickly.
My Conservative colleagues did bring forward some really serious issues. They brought very credible witnesses from the fisheries who were concerned. The unfortunate thing was that they filibustered, so we weren't allowed to ask any questions. It was very difficult to find how we could move forward on the questions being raised by the fishers about their industry and the fragility of the fishing stocks.
Mr. Rushton, I'd like to ask if you've followed the testimony. Under the accord and the board, can we credibly address the issues that have been raised by the fishers?
