Thank you, Minister.
I'm glad to hear you're taking it very seriously, but it would seem by the input that we've been receiving that they feel like many times, whatever input they have had has not been heard, received, implemented or factored in.
In fact, with what has been circulating and what is out in the public right now, many questions are arising. Is your government currently actively pursuing the establishment of a separate fishing authority? Is your government open to having two separate and distinct fishing authorities?
I think that's a fair question that a lot of Canadians have right now. I want to come back to that. Are you open to establishing a separate fishing authority?
