Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
Mr. Landry, earlier you talked about overpoliticization at Fisheries and Oceans Canada. You referred briefly to what has occurred in past years. I would like you to explain to us how we could somewhat move away from the politics of all this. There's a bit of a little of the politician in all of us. Some are more full-time politicians, others are better paid, and still others aren't paid at all, but we all engage in politics in various ways. We all engage in a little politics.
When I say politics, I mean that in the sense of wanting to play both ends against the middle; we want to make decisions that will in a way please everyone; we want to try to please the entire community, and, ultimately, we in a way displease everyone in the short, medium or long term. How could we steer away from politics in all this?
