Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Good morning, everyone.
You can easily understand why the language I'm using is French.
First, I apologize, but I don't necessarily know the details of your situation. However, from what I understood, in view of the extent of your coastlines and the diversity of the fisheries as such, you will have to make some decisions in order to set your priorities. I imagine that, in Indonesia, as is the case here, money doesn't grow on trees and is not necessarily found on the rocks or in the water.
Will these priorities ultimately force you to sacrifice the traditional inshore fishery in favour of the so-called commercial or modern fishery? I get the impression we're making that sacrifice here as well, even though, in a way, our financial resources allocated to Fisheries and Oceans Canada are much greater than in your country. However, I believe we are nevertheless making sacrifices whereby the inshore fisheries are unfortunately being sacrificed.
