Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you both for being here this afternoon and for the great presentation.
Although I come from a little fishing village called Escuminac on the Miramichi, I certainly have a lot to learn. I'm new on this committee, and I'm enjoying the steep learning curve.
On Tuesday, we heard from Minister Hedderson from the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. He was a little vague when he was discussing Newfoundland's role in the NAFO Canadian delegation. Am I correct to assume that industry's role during these talks would be similar to that of a province, in that you are consultative and you get time to provide input into the process?
