In a briefing note that was described in an article on February 24, a briefing note that your department wrote to the minister, there was a quote from somebody who wrote, “As minister, you are well-positioned to attest to how Canada’s fisheries are managed in an effective, science-based and sustainable manner”.
This is a rhetorical question, obviously, but since this appeared in the briefing note, I assume you stand by that statement, that Canada's fisheries, going back a decade or so, have clearly been managed in a science-based and sustainable manner. Given that I don't have much time, if you could, keep all the answers brief.
