Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, gentlemen, for being here today.
I have a few questions that I want to ask. This has been a very interesting item to hear testimony on. It's like the He Said, She Said movie, everything going back and forth.
Mr. Dean, you said NAFO is so broken that it cannot be fixed, and Mr. Vardy, you said we need to go back to the drawing board for this. You both commented about how difficult it is in the international community to try to get consensus and try to get things done.
How long would that take, and what are the consequences of living with an agreement that is so broken and cannot be fixed? I'm suspecting the fix is not short term.
