Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to the witnesses—Dr. Silver, Mr. Lansbergen and Mr. Olson. My first question is for Mr. Olson.
Mr. Olson, first, thank you for all the work you do through Nuu-chah-nulth Seafood and the St. Jean's Cannery. It's nice to see you in Ottawa while I'm in Nanaimo right now.
We heard from the Coastal First Nations. In a letter to DFO, they wrote about how corporate and investor concentration and growing offshore ownership of licences and quota are driving up prices and the way that this licence concentration and offshore ownership are threatening west coast fisheries and directly impeding the important process of reconciliation with indigenous people and their ability to access fisheries.
I'm wondering if you can share a little bit around some of those thoughts we've been hearing from others.
