Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It's all very interesting. There's even some momentum towards the resumption of self-determination. I love this provincial principle.
That said, at the fisheries symposium held in Caraquet, we again raised the fact that, even if Quebec were to become a country—which could happen in the next few years—we will always have contact, a deep and sincere relationship with the entire fisheries of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the river, the estuary and everything that lives there. It binds us together, against all odds, to the end of time.
I'd like to address any witnesses who would like to respond, even though we don't have much time. Would it be interesting to have an umbrella body for all this, within the department or elsewhere, that would perhaps consider the western sector in one way, the eastern sector in another way, with the Maritimes, and the northern sector in another way, too? Of course, we'd still need the support of environmental mediation, because, as we know, everything is infinitely interconnected when it comes to nature.
