Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for being with us today.
My questions are for Mr. Bird, but first I'd like to pass along greetings to him from my colleague Ms. Gill, who couldn't be here today as she is in the House at the moment.
In Quebec, we don't have as permissive a regulatory framework as British Columbia. I have a lot of questions for you about recreational fishing.
How do the supports help the recreational fishing sector in the communities? How could the Department of Fisheries and Oceans help the industry at this time?
