Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll just open by stating that I'm disappointed that Mr. Kelloway would be spreading mistruths and disinformation. I think he ought to be better spending his time focusing on the failures of his government in the nine years that it's been in power and has been delivering some of the programs he's referencing, instead of speculating on what other parties might be into.
I will start by thanking the witnesses for being here.
Mr. Burns, you mentioned the 2023 CSAS process and the decision. In that decision-making process, the science advice was looked at and considered, obviously. The stock was determined to be in the cautious zone. Was the minister made aware of the 2015 promise in the decision-making process?
