Sure. Thank you.
Mr. Chair, right now DFO is not participating in the management board. They provide some limited support for the salmon round tables to operate, and that's great, but they're not actually participating in the process of decision-making, and that's what we need from the department.
They began 20 years ago in that capacity, and then withdrew. We need everyone at the table to be able to make the kinds of decisions that need to be made. We need DFO back and we need the province there. We need all of the players there, but DFO really needs to show up for that.
