Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the officials for coming in today as we wrap up this study.
It was interesting to hear from the DFO officials initially describing the science program within DFO as being a science-based department with science integrity being a key piece to that, and then expert witness testimony throughout the study has drawn that into question.
I'll start with Mr. Burns if I could. Dr. Mona Nemer, the chief science adviser for Canada, told the committee that DFO has introduced a conflict of interest requirement for participants in the CSAS process. When was the requirement introduced?
