Thank you, Chair.
Ms. Collier, my questions are going to be in your area. You have a generational history of fishing, much like our loggers in the interior and our guides and outfitters. I know that you know you need to have fish to support your family, generation after generation.
Why is it so difficult for DFO to sit down and talk with our generational fisher people and get some of the expertise? I struggle with this because you are the real experts who know what's going on, not necessarily an academic who sits in Ottawa. Common sense is not all that common here. It certainly isn't common in this area because of some of the challenges you have. I wonder if you could comment on that.
