Fisheries committee  Okay. Regarding the question I asked the RCMP, I understand their responsibility also, but are you aware of any arrests made on the rivers lately? Was anybody caught?

Fisheries committee  This is for Ms. Carey or Mr. King. You said there was bad advice given by a DFO official. Let's put you in the position of the deputy minister of DFO right now. You are the deputy minister. What advice would you give the minister?

Fisheries committee  What kind of advice would you give the minister, Mr. King? Would you say, “We are ready to open the fishery, and here's the reason why”?

Fisheries committee  My time is up, I think.

Fisheries committee  I ran out of questions. Thank you.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. With regard to all the email communication, would you be able to table that for the committee, please?

Fisheries committee  Thank you. Ms. Carey, you said that the minister got bad advice during the last decision, and maybe some previous ministers did also.

Fisheries committee  Do you think there's still time to open a season for commercial licence-holders, a season that will be safe for everyone on those rivers?

Fisheries committee  Ms. Black, I'm going back to you. I'm not sure if you can answer this. The RCMP still knows what's going on, on the ground. With what you saw happening last year, do you think we could have had a safe season this year, if there had been an open season of elver fishing?

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. My first question is for Mr. Mallette. Several weeks or maybe months ago, the industry discussed certain tools that could be available to you for such things as traceability. Other jurisdictions, including Maine, have adopted an approach that allows for ee

Fisheries committee  I want to make sure that we fully understand the scope of what's going on at the moment. Right now, fishing is illegal. If someone tried to export elvers, how would you stop that from happening? You said earlier that it's impossible to monitor all shipments, but how are you goin

Fisheries committee  Okay. Ms. Black, in recent weeks, has the RCMP made any arrests or seizures on rivers or waterways in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick or elsewhere?

Fisheries committee  Were arrests made anyway?
