Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
I have been a member for five years and have experienced very high levels of frustration during my political career.
You are fishery conservation officers. I would imagine that, as far as NAFO goes, your level of frustration is even higher than mine. If I look at the area you cover, the mission you are tasked with and the results achieved over the years, I would think that you are extremely frustrated with everything that is going on.
First, I need you to clarify something. I may not have done my homework as diligently as I should have, but in terms of the dockside observer program, who are the observers and who pays and appoints them?
