Fisheries committee  Thank you, Chair. Good day, committee members. Thank you for the opportunity to appear before your committee again and to contribute to your study on illegal fishing. For most of my time in DFO, I was working in the area of conservation and protection, or C and P. I started as a river guardian and worked at all levels in the organization, as a fishery officer, a supervisor and a manager, and then as director of C and P for the Newfoundland and Labrador region.
