Mr. Chair, we need to hear from indigenous knowledge when it comes to this study, and I hope Mr. Hardie would agree. I don't believe we've listened to indigenous communities and indigenous leaders in depth. I would like to see two additional meetings dedicated to indigenous knowledge when it comes to Pacific wild salmon, given that it's the bedrock species and it's obviously the cornerstone of their culture for coastal first nations.
I'm hopeful that this committee would support an amendment to include two additional meetings to embody, encompass and listen for prioritizing indigenous knowledge into this conversation.
