You have the scientific data. The data was gathered with equipment that was placed on a harvester's vessel. Your scientists were on board. They saw the mackerel acoustically. Unlike what your officials said to us in 2022—that mackerel could not be observed acoustically—they now know that mackerel can be seen acoustically. They saw it in great quantities.
You've seen social media. You've been around the province. You've been throughout Atlantic Canada. You know the mackerel is there. That's not the question. Why won't you reopen that fishery, Minister?
