Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Bernatchez, I agree with some of your statements. As far as shrimp is concerned, I agree with you that we probably waited too long to look into the redfish issue. The large number of redfish in the gulf has had an impact on shrimp, and perhaps even on other species.
That said, I find your statement about decision-making a little odd. You said that decisions should not be made by politicians.
I was elected in 2015, but I also worked in politics before that. In my time as a member of Parliament, I have seen that if stakeholders in the fishing industry or groups like yours don't like decisions made by public servants, they meet with MPs and ministers to ask for changes.
What are you going to do if it's not politicians or public servants making the decisions? Who's going to make the decisions?
