Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to go back to the last time the Fisheries Act was changed. It was changed as part of the omnibus legislation in 2012, and I believe two witnesses were called and there was one meeting with the committee to review that. This committee is doing substantially more analysis of the current act. I fully support science-based decision-making. We cannot allow the activities that we have been doing in our oceans to continue if we're going to sustain those oceans going forward. The people who take the brunt of inaction by government are those in coastal communities and the fishers who depend on the ocean.
I have a question for each of the witnesses.
Of the two, is land-based activity or ocean-based activity more detrimental to the health of the oceans, just in general?
