I'm referring to an email from Manon Cassista-Da Ros, where she said the following:
My concern is that, so far, we’ve only incorporated internal input, which may limit the completeness of the documents. They could be much stronger if the fishing industry were given an opportunity to review and provide feedback.
I understand that my suggestion may be somewhat uncomfortable, but the fishing industry is uniquely positioned to offer valuable context and insights that we may not fully capture internally. I just don’t want us, as DFO, to miss the opportunity to give this fair consideration.
It's indicated in the internal documents we've obtained that there were people involved in creating this report who held back information because they were uncomfortable. What do you have to say about that?
