Chief Gray, thanks for being with us at this committee today.
As you are our neighbour just across the bay, we're thinking about you during this difficult time. I know your community is facing some restrictions that are coming to New Brunswick with regard to COVID-19, but we're thinking about you and we hope this will be over soon.
Chief Gray, just for this committee's understanding and for Canadians also, everyone in this industry seems to think we are in this situation because there has been a lack of clarity by DFO or government over this year. Let's just imagine there were some successful negotiations, if I can say that, and everyone agreed on the definition of “moderate livelihood”.
Would you accept that, if the earnings of that “moderate livelihood” were restricted to the commercial fishing season in different lobster zones in Atlantic Canada? I think you know what I'm saying. I just want you to comment on that.
