Yes. Fisheries for Communities is a network of harvesters, researchers, academics and NGOs—small businesses as well—that are advocating for a policy reform in the Pacific region that would ensure more of the value of the fishery stays in the hands of coastal communities.
I'm very proud of that network. This is the third time that we've had a gathering and have brought in folks from around Canada but also from around the world, from other jurisdictions. They've come and told us how owner-operator policy and fleet separation exist in Alaska or in Europe, for example, in those parts of the world.
I was disappointed that we didn't have a lot of attendance from DFO, although we did have attendance from members of this committee. I was very proud to see that MPs attended the full two-day conference, listened and provided feedback. We didn't have feedback from DFO itself. I was hoping that they would be there to listen to more of that, because we worked so hard to bring voices from around the world, to bring solutions and to bring different ideas.
