Madam Speaker, I had the honour of sitting with the member for a short while on the fisheries committee as a deputy under him.
We did some travel to the Maritimes last year. Could the member explain those consultations a little more, including what we heard from fishermen, how they need to have input into the fisheries programs, the possible closures that could help and the possible closures that are in place and maybe need to be removed, and how fishers need to be able to provide that input?
