Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Morissette, you mentioned the problem that arose with a whale. That was in my riding. If you followed the news, you saw that some very questionable decisions were made. If I had not stepped in and secured the fishers' collaboration, there would have been a fisheries crisis, as we saw last year. As you said earlier, it is very important to consult fishers and consider what they have to say.
That being said, you noted that resource management is stuck in outdated approaches and that there is a lack of interdisciplinarity at DFO.
I think you consider yourself a scientist, and I think you are. Do you think the scientists at the department listen to your opinions on fisheries and resources, for instance, when you take part in their meetings?
Do you think you are taken seriously and what you say is truly considered? Do you get the sense that your suggestions go in one ear and out the other, as the saying goes?
