Thank you, Chair, and thank you to the witnesses.
My first question is for Mr. Mallet. This might be a bit of a bigger question, but I'm trying to understand clearly, based on the testimony we're receiving, how best to put together recommendations for the government once this study is concluded. I've been hearing quite a bit about the measures being taken to protect the North Atlantic right whale and about having processes in place that are both responsive and versatile while also being specific and clear, but there seem to be some contrasting descriptors about how we would like to see these measures carried out.
I was just wondering if you could clarify your thoughts on how best to move forward. What do fishers on the water need so they can be successful in the important work they're doing while we also ensure that we are protecting the North Atlantic right whale and our marine ecosystems?
