Thank you, Mr. Chair.
There are a couple of things.
Madam Gill, I think, summed it up by talking about turning a blind eye. My concern is that here we hear the department. Two years ago we got the report about stopping the transfer of foreign licences on the west coast. There's been no action so far. We want a public database so we can even know who owns the quota. I don't think this is rocket science; I think it's something that Canadians deserve to know.
If the government doesn't take action on these really important clear steps that this committee was united behind, if government doesn't have a backbone, basically we're going to lose all our fisheries to corporate and foreign interests. Do you not agree?
