I think what we need to look at here as a committee is what is best for the fish and the fish stocks in the long term. If we continue with the current practices where certain stocks are going to become either listed under species at risk or of extreme concern because of the impact to non-target species.... We've heard some of this testimony in regard to the Yelloweye Rockfish on the north coast of B.C. We also see it with some of the other species, in-river species fisheries.
What we need to look at as a committee is not whether we're going to step on someone's toes or upset someone's status quo. What we need to look at more is what's best for the fisheries in the long run and what's best for all of Canada.
