My greetings to everyone.
To the witnesses, thank you for your presentations and your thoughts.
Mr. Blackwood, I think I'd like to continue with you for now. With regard to the recommendations from the Atlantic seal science task team, I'm wondering if you could comment on the third one. I think you reflected a little bit in your opening remarks on how, somehow, after 30 or 40 years of grappling with this problem, we still don't seem to know enough.
Recommendation three is about “better understanding the relationship between seals and the dynamics of important fish stocks and the marine ecosystem as a whole”. I'm wondering if you could flesh that out a little bit.
