Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This motion was put forward today after the testimony we heard today in which the witnesses repeatedly said that this regulation makes no sense. We have members right around this table who have said this makes no sense. They are continuously shaking their heads at it.
What we are trying to do here is to get the members on the committee who are able to get a direct message to the minister in an immediate way to do that. We've seen letters of response from the minister take as long as four months. These harvesters can't wait that long. They need to know whether they can purchase tubs, how they can equip their vessels, and so on.
I would just urge the members to consider following through on their words of platitude today to make sure they follow through on that.
Thank you.
