Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I also thank the witnesses for their remarks, which were very informative, very interesting.
My first question is for Mr. Hardy.
You talked about weir fishing. My colleague who usually sits on this committee knows a lot about it. She is from Île‑aux‑Coudres, as you may know. During last year's fishing season, she took the file very much to heart when there were problems with licensing.
You ended your remarks by saying that this is a time for action and not endless debate. Do you feel that this is the Department of Fisheries and Oceans' current position? Do you have the impression that the department is ready to act, or that it is waiting for something, I don't know what, before taking real action?
