Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, witnesses, for coming to this important study. It is our fourth witness meeting on it, and we've learned a lot from the scientists who have been before the committee.
I'd like to specifically welcome Dr. Dadswell to the committee, since he is a constituent of mine as well. Perhaps I'll start with Dr. Dadswell.
You spoke quite a bit about the CSAS process and the fact that the science you were doing, even as a scientist within DFO, was being rejected by CSAS. What were they telling you over and above saying, “We don't accept this”? Was it science from outside? Was it policy or socio-economic issues that they put over? Did they have contradictory science to what you were proposing?
