Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to welcome the witnesses.
Mr. Elgie mentioned economics, and I have some economics here. I have the GDP of Canada's fishery in 2010, which was $3.9 billion, and in 2023 it was $3.5 billion. Norway's was $12.8 billion U.S. in 2010 and $12.8 billion last year, so Norway has had a 4.5% factor of growth since 2010 while we've shrunk.
What do you think the reason is? Do you think it's the act not managing an outcome that we want in our fishery, which is growth? Is it fisheries management? Could it be pinniped predation?
