Mr. Chair, I’ll follow up on the comments I made to Mr. Weston earlier, in relation to involving people in the process.
I think Senator Patterson touches on the importance of that, and the success that comes from it. Down east, we know that decisions affecting our fisheries were made for decades in central Canada without the people involved in the fishery being part of those decisions. Some people making decisions have never seen a fish. I won't say that they knew what was going on in the fishery. It's important to ensure that people in the north are part and parcel of decision-making, and I think that will reap success. We've seen success in that already in the north, and I think it will continue.
