Thank you very much.
It's my first opportunity to be at this committee, so thank you for having me here.
I'm still shocked at the hubris that the DFO officials have. Mr. O'Dea and Mr. Goodyear, do you guys not realize how badly you've mismanaged this? An hour ago, I was up yelling at the Liberals. Now I'm hearing them and they're saying everything absolutely right. You brought us together, so I appreciate that, but this has been completely bungled.
The budget was clear. It said that you had to take the money and give it to GLFC. You couldn't do that. I hope that you're approaching the negotiations and the MOA a lot better than that. I hope you're realizing that you're an equal partner and you are not their parent.
Could you please give me 30 seconds on explaining your absolutely disastrous management of this?
