Anyone who has ever known this particular witness--Dr. Parsons--friend or foe, Mr. Chairman, has never questioned his integrity the way I have heard it questioned today. I categorically would remind Mr. Kamp that when future witnesses, current members of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, come before us in the next couple of weeks, this side of the table will be respectful of their role in fisheries management when we hear from them.
Mr. Parsons, the EU is about to embark upon a seafood certification process.
