Fisheries committee  Mr. Chair, what I would add, if I may, is that as we're finding approaches, as we get better at developing recovery strategies, at understanding how we need to build in the science, and at understanding the economic impacts, I wouldn't say that is becoming easier. But at least we

Fisheries committee  Thank you for the question. Yes, we are aware of Bill S-215. I believe that a number of our colleagues have appeared before the committee and have provided quite a bit of information. I believe that with the amendments that were proposed we are in a better position to also tra

Fisheries committee  I was going to turn to Madame Breton for the responses to those questions.

Fisheries committee  I think the premise and some of the science around this needs to be further developed, because all the tools and activities we have done to date have had an impact, up to a point.
