Thank you, Mr. Chair. I run a clock here as well, to keep track of my own time more than anything else.
Thank you all for being here and online today for testimony.
What we're doing for this committee study is reviewing the Fisheries Act of 2019—the act, not the regulations and the pieces that should have flowed out of the act—but what we're hearing consistently, again and again, is that there were things in the act that were enabled by the act, but after five years they're yet to be rolled out.
We heard from the previous group about how, after five years, they're still waiting for standards of practice, codes of operation and so on. We heard from you three today about the owner-operator issues, the adjustment of appropriate fines, the lack of enforcement and the stock assessments that are not complete. These are core responsibilities of this department. For each of you, just quickly, would you say that the department has been able to fulfill its core responsibilities?
I'll start with Mr. Allen and then go to Mr. Wareham and Ms. Street.
