Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Madam Minister, thank you for being with us for two hours; my colleagues and I are extremely grateful.
I think we could end the meeting by giving you the floor on this important topic. As you said, the fisheries have changed a lot in recent years. Some species are doing better, but others are seeing their stocks decline. As you know, there is a new generation of fishers. Young people want to take over from their parents in order to continue the tradition. However, it is difficult in some sectors.
There will soon be a review of the Fisheries Act. How do you think we can support the new generation that wants to continue what is not only a tradition, but also a very important occupation for our communities, including yours and mine? Do you have any ideas on what the government or the Department of Fisheries and Oceans could do to help the new generation continue this wonderful job that my father did all his life?
