Thank you.
Thanks for being here to answer other questions.
This is a question about the Cohen commission. I appreciate that the department and the minister set that up to inquire into the decline of salmon. Everyone was, of course, delighted at the one-year unexpected increase in sockeye salmon. There are theories about how that might be a one-time event. Trends are very worrisome in general, particularly with the southern stocks.
Are you satisfied that this inquiry is going to achieve your objectives? What are your objectives for the inquiry? Does it look like it's on track? The avalanche of legal documents is of concern to people. The focus on the department is a concern. The relative absence of testimony from scientists and participants from various fisheries communities, and so on, is a concern.
Is there something that needs to be done to refocus the Cohen commission, in your view, or do you view it to be on track to meeting the objectives, and what are your objectives?
