Yes, I appreciate and understand that, but the reality is that the catches this year have been really good. It totally contradicts what is being proposed in the needs for proposed cuts. That's what the harvesters are telling me.

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald

Thank you.

That concludes the first part of our committee meeting for this afternoon.

Thank you to our two witnesses, Dr. Wahle for appearing by video conference and Mr. Lansbergen for appearing in person. He is no stranger to the committee.

We will suspend for a couple of minutes now so we can discuss committee business.
