Thank you, Mr. Chairman and Mr. Sullivan.
Again, I go back to this process. I'd just like a little history on how the ambassador of fisheries was created. I know there was one prior to 1995. Under program review it was cut out. I don't recall the government, in opposition or in government now, saying they would create a position if they were elected. In fact, I didn't hear any discussion of this at all.
My question is for Mr. Bevan. When the discussion on an ambassador of fisheries was taking place, was this something that happened over a long period of time? Was the posting for it internal or external?
