Thank you, Chair.
Minister, last week officials from your department admitted to this committee that under your government's plan or crusade to meet these UN 30 by 30 targets of closing 30% of Canada's coastal waters to various economic activities, work is currently being undertaken and pursued without any socio-economic analysis having been conducted whatsoever, and before any study of how many jobs will be lost and how many fishermen will be put out of work and how coastal communities across this country will be affected. Is that true?
