Thank you.
It's important for everybody to come here with their homework done. I heard a comment a little earlier, I'm not sure from whom, about one step forward and two steps back. Yes, that's probably true right now, because when you oppose an amendment to a motion calling on us to complete a study for which we actually have no terms of reference, and nothing on the table actually to complete, and if we were to go to the Liaison Committee asking for resources to be able to study that particular issue and they ruled this out of order because we have not actually voted any motion on it at committee, yes, I would have my concerns too, that this thing is not necessarily going in the right direction. It is going one step forward, two steps back.
What I'd like to do, given the fact that those who have their homework done should have their motions actually heard and voted upon, and vice versa, is to act accordingly. I hope for the sake of those involved in the B.C. aquaculture industry, and those who have concerns about the recreational fisheries, aboriginal fisheries, commercial fisheries, and outfitting businesses in the sport fishery and recreational fishery, that people will come to this table somewhere down the line with their homework done. But they haven't shown up yet.
So let's just get on with this and get this done, and when a motion comes forward for us to actually study B.C. aquaculture, I'll certainly be voting for it. But right now, we have decided there is one issue that is of importance, the east coast crab fishery. There is an actual motion on the table to be able to deal with that.
I'll just give some assurance to those who may have a passion equal to mine that we should look at the B.C. aquaculture industry that they will have my support.
So let's just get this done and move on, and if it requires the steering committee to get some work done, we will let the steering committee do its job, but right now the committee is meeting and is doing its job.
