Thank you, Mr. Chair.
With all due respect to Mr. Morrissey, this committee is basically the only outlet in Ottawa that gives any voice at all to the fishing industry. The stakeholders would love nothing more than to hear from the minister. I must say, she doesn't need anyone to carry her water for her. She's quite capable of throwing her own smacks.
I think there's no better use of committee time than to have the minister here defending her decisions and maybe enlightening us on why she made some of her decisions.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
