Thank you, Minister.
I want to go back and ask you to elaborate. You referenced MPAs in your opening statement, which I'm reading here. In your comments, you listed all the partners you were going to work with, but I did not see commercial fishers in your statement. I take it that was an oversight, and I simply want to reference that, because in the last election, the Conservative candidate here in Atlantic Canada used a lot of false information about the government using MPAs to close lobster fisheries and crab fisheries in certain areas.
Madam Minister, could you correct the record on that matter and verify that any move in MPAs will involve collaboration with commercial fishers, and that it is not the intention to close down any lobster fishing areas or crab fishing areas?
