Thank you very much.
Between our previous witnesses and our current witnesses--a very esteemed and stimulating debate--I get more and more nervous and scared all the time. I appreciate our esteemed gentlemen.
I honestly think the goal is to protect the fish from overfishing, illegal catches, and that. That is the end goal and a very lofty goal to achieve. In simplistic terms, it's something that everyone should be able to support.
My problem is that when you make comments that “maybe we could retrain them into something else” and “short-term pain for long-term gain”, do you actually visit those rural fishing communities in northern, eastern, and western Canada, and first nations groups, and sit there and tell them that?
