Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to go back to Mr. Byrne for a few minutes.
Minister, can you tell us why the CCFAM meeting went so poorly that it wasn't even able to produce a joint communiqué?
You touched on that briefly, but it sounds like trust has been lost in not just the department but in the minister's and Prime Minister's decisions on fisheries management. We've gone through five ministers. We're now on number six embroiled in this turmoil over the northern cod fishery, and her decision has gone counter to her boss's decision, the Prime Minister's decision.
We have fisheries and aquaculture ministers from across the country who have spoken out about the displeasure they sensed around that meeting.
Can you tell us why it went so poorly?
