Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I'll start off with Mr. Davis, but if someone else has the answer, that would be fine as well.

At our meeting on June 1, officials from the Department of Foreign Affairs were asked who in their department was focused on protecting Canadian fisheries from too much or inappropriate foreign investment or corporate concentration that resembles a cartel. Foreign Affairs officials deferred that question to the “experts” at DFO.

What branch of DFO contains the experts in protecting our fisheries from cartels or the laundering of money from overseas?
