Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for coming out today. I'm looking forward to working with you folks in Global Affairs in the next few years as we break down some trade barriers for our pinniped products. I'm expecting great support from your department.
My question is for Ms. Minotti, since we haven't heard from you today, and I'm sure you have some valuable input.
In April 2021, a letter was signed by 18 MPs and sent to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, requesting a change in Canadian leadership from DFO to GAC. In May of that year various stakeholders made the exact same request.
What discussions took place between DFO and GAC as a result of those requests for a change in leadership?
