Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all of our witnesses today for their tremendous presentations. I think you all gave us lots of great insights and information, and we certainly appreciate that.
I'm going to start my questions with you, Katie, from my home province of Newfoundland and Labrador. As you know, I grew up in the fishery, and I understand it very well.
I'm really disappointed to learn the FFAW was not consulted in a much more in-depth way. It does disappoint me, I'll be honest with you. I really believe that the fishing industry in Newfoundland and Labrador has been a strong support for the offshore oil and gas industry, and they've worked very well together as ocean industries to see those developments go in different directions. I understand the important role that the FFAW plays, and I want to note that for the record here in committee today and to say that I agree that you should have been consulted in a much more in-depth way.
I know you're at the table with the regional assessments, and I know it's not the same as being consulted on the bill or being consulted on a project down the road. First of all, were you aware of the bill? Have there been discussions with your members in FFAW about it?
