Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is for Mr. Rangeley. You talked about transparency of information, and I want to follow up on that.
We have a major problem in the Gaspé region, among other places. Herring and mackerel fishers were told that the fishery would be shut down only a few days before it was to open. These individuals are now out of work and have no money coming in. We have no plan, no financial compensation to support them. There's been a complete lack of foresight.
In your opinion, does being transparent with information have an impact on the mental and socio-economic state of our fishers?
How vital is access to information for them?
