Thank you, Chair.
My question is to the deputy minister.
Mr. Sargent, on numerous occasions before this committee, on a number of studies, the issue that has been raised with great concern is the alarming growth of the unreported and under-reported cash sales both in lobster and crab. This is identified as one of the most significant threats affecting these two species, which are the most sustainably successful fisheries on the east coast.
Mr. Sargent, are you aware of this concern being expressed by fishers in the industry?
