Legislation cannot be passed without first consulting the people who will be affected by it. If the committee should succeed in convincing the minister to welcome consultations on Bill C-45, would you be interested in appearing before the committee again? This bill affects fishers and processors, in other words, everyone in the industry, as well as an organization like yours. Do you think it would be a good thing if we were able to convince the minister to do this?
