Mr. Rodgers, I'd like to thank you for your rather eloquent presentation. It's obvious that you are a true nature lover. I have a question for you, as a nature lover, and one for Mr. Bailey, as an expert who has taken courses in this subject.
The question is not directly related to the topic under discussion. However, I would like to get your opinion on this. You've told us, as have others, just how much sport hunters and anglers benefit the environment through the money they invest, the hours of work they put in and their conservation efforts. From a commercial standpoint, however, we're facing a completely different situation.
How do you feel personally about that fact that in your region of Atlantic Canada, the waters have been overfished? How could this have happened when there are so many people involved in conservation efforts? What is your take of this situation?
