Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for coming out today to take part in this very important study.
My first question is for Ms. Lapointe.
Ms. Lapointe, the 115,000-tonne promise to the inshore fleet was made by the Prime Minister during the 2015 election campaign. It stated that a Liberal government would allocate the first 115,000 tonnes of northern cod to the inshore fleet.
Given your extensive knowledge of our commitments to NAFO, is that a promise the Prime Minister and his ministers could have kept to the inshore fleet?
