Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Hutchins, we've talked a lot about enforcing conservation efforts and trying to let cooler heads prevail on the ground and ensuring the safety of not only the public but also DFO officials and the RCMP on the ground.
We heard that DFO wasn't prepared for protecting the safety of fishers on the water in 1999. I think all of us want to see DFO officials and officers being able to do their jobs safely and with pride. Can you talk about what it's like for enforcement officers today on the ground? What resources are needed to support officers in doing their jobs effectively?
