If I may, Mr. Chair, comment quickly on the division of the responsibilities, Ms. Ridgeway will answer in her areas of real expertise. Ms. Ridgeway is not responsible for the entire file.
As I said in my opening remarks, it's a collective approach, in the sense that there are people, for example, in Mr. Bevan's shop who are responsible for much of the work in the RFMOs, and that's one of the reasons why Mr. Bevan is here with us today. The seal file is one that is directed primarily by me, with the help of Ms. Ridgeway and the people in Mr. Bevan's office.
So if I may, I think it would be valuable to the committee to ask Ms. Ridgeway to speak on those areas she has direct responsibility for.
