Thank you, Chair.
I’d like to thank the witnesses for participating in our study. It’s courageous of them to testify about illegal fishing.
I’ll turn to Mr. Urbina, who’s an investigative journalist.
I’d like to take this opportunity to commend your work and that of journalists in general. Without all of you, it would be impossible to shed such a fair and impartial light on the reality that is sometimes experienced on the ground. I know that journalism is currently facing serious threats. It’s all the more important to highlight the value of the work you and all your colleagues do, Mr. Urbina.
Now, I’d like to know if you’ve investigated illegal fishing in Quebec, more specifically in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and on the St. Lawrence River.
