Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to start off with Mr. Byrne.
Minister, the current fisheries minister was shuffled into her position because the previous minister had a penchant for not listening to Canadian harvesters. The current minister told Canadians—and I was there when she told harvesters—that she would be different and she would listen more.
Minister, when the federal fisheries minister met with the provincial ministries of the Council of Fisheries and Aquaculture Ministers this past August, were you and other provincial fisheries ministers heard by the minister? Did she listen to you?
