Thank you, Chair.
Through you, my questions will all be to Mr. Mallet. Five minutes is short.
We've heard pretty extensive testimony given about the disconnect between DFO science and the fisher in terms of the input of the information coming from the fisher, whether it's commercial fishers or indigenous fishers. We heard evidence from the PEIFA last week about one area that I want to focus on. Is the modelling used by DFO not a transparent process? There's a question around the modelling being used. In fact, it was that same modelling that was pointed to as one of the reasons for the disconnect between the department and the cod fishery of Newfoundland that led to its collapse.
Could you comment on the modelling? How does DFO use the modelling of the science and the information they get? How could it be improved?
