Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, witnesses, for coming. It's an important study. I appreciate your contribution.
I'm from the east coast, so forgive me if I'm not as fully knowledgeable about all the agreements that you have in B.C.
As part of this study, some of that IUU is unreported. We have some issues with that on the east coast with our commercial fishermen too, but I'll come to that in a minute.
In the processes of the first nations that you represent in your alliances and associations, how do you collect data on the actual catches for the species you're fishing—both commercially and for FSC—and record them? Also, do you also record a bycatch in both FSC and the commercial fishery?
Perhaps I could start with Mr. Russ since you're in the room, and then I'll ask the other two.
