Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses from Atlantic Canada. This has been very informative. You've done a very good job of explaining the hardships your communities have faced over many generations. We've heard your perspective on possible solutions. You were also asked to provide input on what you would do if you had ministerial authority.
This is perhaps the other side of the table. I'm curious to get your perspective. How do you see the development or implementation of the Marshall decisions, working with what I call the traditional fisheries, commercial fisheries, the owner-operator, those individuals? Do you have concerns about conservation, or do you think that's a non-issue? Is this really just a question of granting the space, or does one displace the other? How do you see the various communities coexisting in your regions or in your provinces?
I'm more than happy to turn over the remainder of my time, provided you share it equitably, if you don't mind. I would like to hear from both of you.
