Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, Ambassador. My question is going to change the topic a little bit, moving away from the commercial fishing aspect of things.
You mentioned in your mandate some issues pertaining to promoting the seal harvest abroad and so on. I'm just wondering if any of your mandate includes anything to do with the sport fishing industry. There's quite a substantial sport fishing industry on particularly the west coast. I know there are some issues there as well that they're facing, and there are questions they would like to have answered.
Do you foresee anything in your mandate, whether it be through promotion or in your negotiations and international agreements, with regard to ensuring a strong and viable sport fishing industry?
