I think people would be surprised to what degree the fishing industry is regulated by the Federal Government.

We thank you for giving your time, your precious time, away from your work.

My fishing industry asked for us to be part of the process and to make sure we're doing our part and investing in quality research.

Maybe the oil industry should do more.

I think my job is certainly to try to reach out to, just, citizens and try to continue to carry this news.

Communication has to be part of it. Communicating what the problem is, in terms of, obviously, the solution.

We know that fishing vessels are a tiny source of emissions, but if it is done fairly, a lot of us will probably be willing to do our part.

I understand that one of the ways to reduce emissions is to put a price on carbon emissions, and maybe at some point we'll have to live with higher costs at the fuel pump.

We owe it to them to come up with answers now.

This is an ideal network that we should be using for this purpose, but the funding recommendations are undercutting the system.

If you can find a way of reducing carbon emissions that fishermen can live with, then the odds are good that most other people can get comfortable with it too.

The credibility and the integrity of the science is so important to the outcome.

Certainly we want to prevent any trauma to your industry.

I appreciate very much your continuing and ongoing advocacy on behalf of small businesses, and in particular at this pivotal moment in our nation's history.

A day should not go by that we should not be figuring this out.

There is no question about it. It is all about jobs, jobs, jobs. It is not materializing, and it is severe.

We cannot alter the employment environment without making sure that we are giving all the resources to small businesses.

There is no sense of urgency which is really surprising, frankly, here. That should have been on the top of the agenda.
