I want to follow up on the icebreaking issue. I have to say how proud I am of our government's efforts on that front over the past few years. As I mentioned earlier, unnecessary bureaucracy and red tape sometimes get in the way. We know we need ships, but the requests for proposals still haven't been put out. We need to get past those hurdles and acquire the tools we need.
My question is for Mr. Lanteigne and Mr. Noël.
Mr. Sullivan said that discussions on the weak rope requirement would be taking place in 2023. Where do you stand on the issue? Where are you in your talks with DFO?
People have serious concerns about the weak rope. They think it will be harmful and won't help protect right whales.
