Could you comment on how there's been a lot of testimony given about an independent science branch within DFO, and could you present an answer in writing to the committee later? How would you advise the committee that an independent science branch that were only focused on science would then interpret the information from the knowledge base, which is the fishers and indigenous communities and take it into account? How would it work? I know that I don't have time now, but I'd be curious to know if you have an opinion you could provide to the committee on paper.
Thank you, Dr. Robert. Your evidence is fascinating.
