Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, panel, for being here today. I'm on the east coast of New Brunswick, so I can really appreciate what the conversation is about.
We've heard testimony here today that we're moving way too slowly on this, that Canada's lagging behind other countries, even behind the U.S., and then we've heard that maybe we're going a bit too fast.
Mr. Nickerson, you're certainly a well-educated man. You have your future ahead of you in that industry. You decided to come back to it, and I want to acknowledge that. I think it's noble of you to do that with your family and your community.
There must be a middle ground, especially if you have MPAs where the no-take policy might not apply, and where you can harvest a species and still protect it. Could you comment on that?
