Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses for being here.
As you may have seen from our questions to the previous witnesses--and this has been raised many times in the past--people are generally not reassured by the present situation. It may be why Americans refuse to eat fish from the Gulf of Mexico. We really need a better and transparent regulation regime. People have to be informed about the regulations, which they do not seem to be at this time. At the very least, people do not feel that they have enough information.
I would like to have your opinion about this. I would like you to tell us what is being done, at this time, for people to feel safer.
