Okay.
We hope that the situation will continue to improve.
Last week, we heard from a witness who made some very interesting comments. He was an economist who served as a deputy minister in Newfoundland and Labrador. He told us that decisions concerning the protection of the resource, particularly those concerning fisheries management, should not be political. According to the witness, they should instead favour a co-management mechanism that would bring together people on the ground and a number of stakeholders other than political ones.
What do you think of that idea?
We've heard that the minister made decisions that were contrary to her department's directives, and we're wondering what the best way to protect the resource would be for the future.
