Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'll start again with Mr. Davis, if I could.
The issue around the Fraser sockeye opening, or late opening, last year came up directly to me again. As Mr. Gunn had mentioned earlier, there were calls from commercial fishers and recreational fishers. I had a call from a former DFO management individual concerned with the fishery further up the Fraser River, one that he said actually should have been opened two weeks earlier than it was because there was confusion over which stocks were being impacted. They kept the Fraser closed above the confluence at Lytton. They weren't allowing a fishery further upstream at Lillooet because of a run stock that doesn't even go past Lillooet.
Can you explain why that fishery was so delayed? Do you perhaps have numbers on the millions in economic opportunity that was probably lost?
