Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Roberts. You've really been in the hot seat for this entire time. Thanks for your willingness to answer all our questions.
Following up on some of the questions you've responded to already, you were talking about how many of the vessels were abandoned in the 1990s as a result of the cod moratorium.
I have a quick side note. As everybody here knows, I'm from Newfoundland originally, and I moved to the west coast as a result of the cod moratorium, so I absolutely understand why we would have seen people who were not sure what to do with their vessel anymore and who were not sure how to best move forward.
My question is, in your experience, at what stage is it easier to clean up the vessel? Is it when the vessel is 20 years old? Is it when the vessel has just been abandoned? What does the cleanup look like, depending on the age of the vessel and how long the vessel has been in the water? What are the impacts around that? Can you tell us a bit more?
