I actively advocate for all things that I hear from harvesters, the industry and all participants in the fishery. It is important that I do that.
When I speak about consultation, I take that process seriously. I review what I hear. If we need to incorporate something into science processes—we just mentioned the mackerel fishery in Newfoundland and Labrador—we will do that. If it means that I advocate within government, then I will do that as well. I reiterate that I know clearly that this is very important.
