I agree, Mr. Murray. It would be a good idea.
Sometimes there are inshore fishermen who might have some concern with the science at DFO. You've probably heard some things over the years that might lead you to believe there was some doubt. You have to have science and you have to know where you're going, but this new proposal that you are going to bring before the committee.... I think if you involve the fishermen more in what you're trying to do, then you would have a little more success with DFO. Is that the intent? I think there's more money going into science--there has to be--but also, for your own credibility as members of Parliament and government, I think it's essential that the fishermen have more input so they respect what they're told.
Personally, I have had a number of issues, like the herring fishery and other things, where science wasn't always on my side, but the fishermen were. Things like that have to be addressed and they have to be dealt with.
Is this what you're planning or going to try to do?
