Minister, thank you very much for joining us today in this unusual meeting during our constituency break. I appreciate your accommodation of Madame Desbiens' request.
Thank you very much also to my colleagues on the committee for putting aside time for this.
Minister, in your opening remarks you mentioned that you're looking at this for next year, and I appreciate that. Was there no consultation with the weir fishermen before the meeting of the advisory committee that was held in March of this year?
