Executive Director, Lobster Council of Canada

Thanks, Mr. Chair.

I did have a couple of calls with Ag Canada, which was supposed to be rolling out a buy Canadian program for all agri-food products before this happened. I think that COVID-19 has put that on the back burner.

We are talking to all the provinces about ensuring that lobster specifically is on the docket for buy local programming.
