Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I welcome the witnesses.
Mr. Archambault, first nations in the north are in numerous joint venture arrangements for harvesting Greenland halibut, also known as turbot, and prawns. This is an important part of their interaction with the ecosystem, to earn a living by harvesting the oceans of the north. It's an important part of reconciliation with our first nations in the north.
Why do you want to prohibit their fishing, their earning a living and the reconciliation process that's been undertaken by giving them more access to fishing in partnership with other groups in the north?
