Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We're obviously doing a review of the west coast fishery licensing system. We've heard many witnesses talk about the trend of increasing privatization of the fishery, and the inequity in the current system and this trend that's happening. We're hearing suggestions, and we've heard suggestions about how we might transition towards a new, fairer, more equitable fishery or way of managing.
I have only a short time and too many witnesses and too many questions, so I'm going to ask Dr. Pinkerton this.
In your presentation, you talked about onshore co-op, and I'm wondering if you could elaborate a bit more on the successes. That is what I'm looking at. We heard River Select talk about their co-op model on the lower Fraser. Are these successful ways of managing the fishery that this committee and this government should be looking at? Can you elaborate a little more in a couple of minutes?
