Thank you very much.
Welcome, gentlemen. Thank you very much for your presentation today.
My riding is in southwestern Ontario, so I come from a very different background when it comes to the fishing you've been talking about today. It has been a real education listening to you.
When I think of recreational fishing in this country, I think of having a fishing licence from the time I'm 18 until I'm 65, getting in my boat and going fishing on the Great Lakes or, if I want smaller waters, going to an inland lake or river. We buy a licence, we pay the licence fee to the provincial government, and we carry on our way and teach our families all about fishing. It's a culture that many of us have grown up with.
I don't hear that coming from you today. I don't hear about the small family getting out and fishing. It's more business oriented. Although you have alluded to the fact that your organization deals with the commercial fisheries, is there somebody who deals with these fisheries, or are there recreational fisheries inland so that the person who lives in P.E.I. can buy a licence and go fishing for mackerel or whatever? I don't know. What do you have that they could fish for?
