Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the entire presentation because I had to go to another meeting. I wanted to hear at least part of that conference.
I have had occasion to meet Mr. Pauly and the entire team at the University of British Columbia. That was about a month ago. He is a researcher at a fisheries research centre. I thought the work of those people was very interesting. So I asked—and I'm still asking—that our management table work with that research centre.
I think it's very important to consider more than one scientific viewpoint. Researchers have quite clear viewpoints. Our responsibility is to listen to our scientists, but to listen to others as well and to bring them together.
With regard to your question as to whether that made me feel a sense of urgency, I would answer that the urgent nature of the decisions we must take is always a concern for me. It's always present. I know that global fisheries management is a very important issue. So we're doing our best to bring together a variety of scientific viewpoints.
