Thank you, Mr. Chair, and to all our witnesses for being here and providing your testimony. I think it's really important that we hear first-hand about what you're experiencing and look to the industry about how we go forward.
This study is looking at how the government licensing program is operating on the west coast. The committee has heard from independent fish harvesters about the benefits of the owner-operator principle and protecting fish harvesters in the current context of changing ocean and river conditions. Obviously, we have to change the way we fish because the current system and our model is just not sustainable.
Mr. Moore, when I heard your presentation, one of the things that impressed me was that you talked about River Select in the Harrison Fisheries Authority. Your presentation talked about your work, over 20-plus years, and what you've learned in those years. I'm wondering if you could talk more about the model that you've landed on and the promise that demonstration fishery might have as a way forward.
