I will be brief, Mr. Chair.
Page 29 shows, very generally, the actions taken by the government to deal with how this has gone off the track, to use your expression. Not only have we met with these organizations, but we have also met with buyers to give them information about the stocks we manage. I have had several meetings with major retailers and with NGOs, to explain our thinking about sustainable management of Canadian seafood.
Your colleague referred to international trade officers at Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada. We are working with them to get that message out and provide information. We are in constant contact with them, to provide information to buyers who want to know whether that list is valid.
One interesting aspect of this trend is that people no longer look at these lists as the sole reference. They want to have more information. Three or four years ago, they looked at the list and they accepted whatever it said. People are more informed and want more information. We give them that information and the producers also provide information. The industry has the burden of providing that information. We work with the industry to disseminate the information.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada has an information booth about sustainable fisheries in Boston and Brussels. We provide information on site for buyers to demonstrate the sustainability of the seafood.
