Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would also like to thank all the witnesses for being with us, especially Mr. Bernatchez, with whom I will be speaking for the next six minutes.
Mr. Bernatchez, Dr. Morissette spoke earlier about horizontal mediation, which means giving independent scientists from all kinds of fields, such as ecology, sociology, the economy, sustainable development and, obviously, resource protection and biodiversity, an equal seat at the table. The Réseau Québec maritime has in fact conducted a study on this.
You and I both know that Quebec and the Maritimes very much want to be united in improving, changing and saving our fisheries.
What do you think of this horizontal mediation approach, and how would you make it better?
