Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First of all, I'd like to calm the waters. We are here, in committee, to find solutions. The vigorous exchanges we've just had are evidence of difficulty or perhaps frustration on both sides. I hope that we are able to rise above the fray to find solutions and create that space that is needed, that we have discussed. We have to give space to the other, the other with a capital “O”, to understand their concerns, of course, and to arrive at a space for negotiation. It is important to be open to the other person, to respect them and to recognize their merit.
Also, I know Ms. Canet didn't have time to mention everything she wanted to talk about in her introduction, so I'll leave her some time.
As with the other witnesses, I am particularly interested in the concept of moderate livelihood and what the Department of Fisheries and Oceans could do to facilitate negotiations and the resolution of the crisis we are currently experiencing. Having said that, the other issues that you are interested in are equally important, of course.
