Thank you, Chair.
I’d like to thank the witnesses for being here today.
I'll start with Mr. Allen.
We've heard a lot about the illegal, unreported and unregulated fisheries during the last couple of years.
Do you feel that the fisheries officers on the water clearly watch what is happening, or do you think that sometimes they close their eyes to some of those fisheries that are occurring?
We heard some testimony on that at the committee recently. I want to have your thoughts on that.
