Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank the witnesses for being here with us.
This question is probably for Mr. Burns.
There are fishers in Quebec whose fishing activities have been suspended—mackerel and herring fishers, specifically. These people have told us that only mackerel fishers in Quebec are required to report their catches. Obviously, the closure of that fishery caused major inconveniences and distress in many Quebec communities that depend on fishing. Apparently, mackerel is still being fished elsewhere, such as in the United States.
I'd like to know why Quebec fishers are the only ones who have to report their catch.
Then I'd like you to tell me what your department can do to change what's happening in the United States, which is hurting mackerel fishers in Quebec.
