Madam Chair, I just want to enter into the record of evidence a press release from the Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs related to harvest seasons. I have a physical copy here to share with the clerk.
Ms. Mavin, from your experience, do you find that decisions over at DFO regarding the opening and closing of various fisheries are always driven by science and empirical data, or do they at times tend to be influenced, in your view, by politics and ideology?
