Mr. Speaker, I wish thank the member for his question.
The sampling phase of DFO's $1.3 million wild salmon action plan is complete and is entering the data analysis phase.
DFO has been regularly reporting its progress to the public on the department's website. I wish to remind my colleagues that it is premature to draw any conclusions from the data until it can be properly analyzed.
Scientists will publish a detailed report of their findings at the earliest possible opportunity. I am confident that the results of this initiative will enhance the public's understanding of this issue and will contribute to the decisions affecting wild Pacific salmon.
