Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is for the officials. On the Fisheries and Oceans website, it's stated that by 2017 the department will develop the infrastructure to collect and analyze data to determine economic viability and social impacts of the various groundfish fisheries.
Has this infrastructure been established? If so, has DFO carried out economic viability and social impact studies of the various groundfish fisheries in B.C. with the data gathered?
