Thank you, Chair.
I want to thank our in-person witness for being here and our witnesses joining virtually by video conference as well.
I want to start with Mr. Zeman.
It's great to see you at committee, although you mentioned some very alarming facts, like the fact that now there are fewer than half the fisheries officers there were in 2011. I remember that in 2012 in my riding, the DFO office on the Sunshine Coast was shut down by the Harper government. I remember that several years later, there was an effort to shut down the DFO office in Squamish. I think we're seeing an overall centralization of DFO services. I think you quite accurately pointed out the concern that some of that has led to IUU fishing in different places.
I was hoping you might be able to speak a bit more to that. Also, do you see any mechanisms or opportunities to better utilize technology and data in some of the detection and enforcement efforts?
