From my perspective, the most important thing that the members of this committee can walk away with—when you leave Newfoundland, when you leave St. John's, and Fogo, and Port de Grave—is the fact that DFO is not doing its job. The Government of Canada is not doing its job with management and science. The scientists are not there. The science is not being carried out. The ships aren't available to carry out the science. It's not being done.
It's been said that the most substantial change to fisheries management over the past 24 years since the northern cod moratorium came down was the elimination of the double-hook jigger.
