In the interests of efficiency, I noticed that many of the witnesses we'll be bringing to these studies will be providing comments on the recreational fishery side. Could we ask staff to try to rationalize how and when these witnesses are called? There's a whole bunch of studies we're proposing to do: selective fishing, the broader Pacific salmon study, etc. When we have representatives from the recreational fishery here speaking to one study, if it's highly likely they will be called again on other studies, it would be very helpful if we had an opportunity to ask questions on those as well.
I know typically that wouldn't be allowed, Mr. Chair, but I'm wondering why we would have witnesses travel here many times, or try to co-ordinate them in video conferencing, when we can do it one time and say, “Hey, we have three studies coming up; you're likely going to be witnesses at all three, so let's ask questions on all three.” I know that might complicate matters somewhat, but it's just for your consideration.
