Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for being here with us this evening.
Minister, Premier Stephen McNeil has been very critical of how you've handled this crisis so far. He has said that he is “very dissatisfied, quite frankly”. He said:
We need the federal minister to sit down with all sides in a room. It is not enough to sit down with Indigenous leaders or with fishing associations by themselves.
Do you agree with Premier McNeil's position, that you have not done enough to this point?
