Ernie Klassen at the Fisheries and Oceans Committee

Thanks so much.

Thanks to the witnesses for being here.

Mr. Griswold, in your speaking notes that you submitted to us, you say that in 2025 “it became known that the 2025 run size far exceeded the preseason forecast”.

When was the forecast prediction made known? Also, can you talk a bit about how the forecast is created and when it became known that the actual run was different?
