We had officials here at this committee a couple of days ago who told us that data going back to 1954 had been pulled in to change the reference point on that cod stock. In that same meeting, these officials talked about how important the logbook data was that was coming back from fishermen in the northern cod stewardship fishery. However, an Order Paper question that I submitted last October that came back in December revealed that the logbook data from 2020, 2021 and 2022 was still on the shelf.
Does the fact that that logbook data had been sitting there for three years indicate that the data was valuable to DFO?
Thank you.
