Madam Chair, I'm wondering if Mr. Cormier would like to explain to us why he's not in favour of having officials come to this committee to explain the work that has or has not been done based on the recommendations of the last report. We can continue doing reports, but if there's nothing done based on the recommendations, are we just here wasting our time?
Witnesses travel to Ottawa. They want recommendations. The stakeholders are depending on us to try to get some movement out of this government for some productivity in the fishing industry. I don't know why Mr. Cormier is trying to cover up, possibly, for a lack of action on the last report on seals, sea lions and walruses. Maybe he can explain to us how much work has been done on the report. Maybe he can do it right here. We can stay for another hour, and he can tell us all the work that's been done on the pinniped file.
