Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think you guys thought that you were here to discuss invasive species in the Great Lakes. It seems like this has been changed to the Fisheries Act. Let's understand, folks, that we're studying invasive species in the Great Lakes. This was a resolution that was put forward by Pat Davidson and me, being a member for Sault Ste. Marie, to discuss invasive species in the Great Lakes.
With that question in mind, there are 12 jurisdictions—eight states, two provinces, the Canadian federal government, and the U.S. federal government. We also have the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, and several intergovernmental forums, including the Great Lakes Commission, the Great Lakes Fishery Commission, and the International Joint Commission. My concern has to do with who's in charge of making sure that everybody is talking to everybody and feeding everybody the right information so that we're all current on exactly what's going on.
