Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all our witnesses for providing testimony here or by video conference.
I want to encourage everyone who made recommendations to provide those recommendations to the clerk of the committee in writing if they haven't done that so far. I heard recommendations in a number of presentations, and it would be very, very helpful for the committee to see those recommendations in writing. This goes for everyone who is providing a presentation, even if you send an email saying, “Here's my recommendation.”
Ms. Thorkelson, you gave us a very long recommendation and it was comprehensive, so if we could have that in writing—I'm sure it is if your presentation was submitted—that would be very helpful.
Mr. Nobels, you referred to a number of reports, the Ecotrust Canada reports, and the “Just Transactions, Just Transitions” report. You referenced Dr. Evelyn Pinkerton's “Fisheries that work”. If you wouldn't mind submitting those reports to this committee, those would also be really helpful to refer to. Then all the members of the committee would have access to those, and the clerk, the analysts and everyone could take a look at the work you're referring to.
I want to start with you, Mr. Edwards.
You referenced the fair share mechanism, and you were explaining the components of that to Mr. Hardie when he asked you about that. I'm wondering if you could elaborate a little bit more. You mentioned the idea of a transparent quota registry. Are there other specifics under what you call a fair share mechanism that you'd like to see not only this committee look at but the government implement?
