Finance committee  Right now, the value of the farmed seafood sector compared to the value of the traditional fishery is about 30%. We're increasing every year. Again, in Canada at the moment, about 50% of the seafood consumed is farmed. Across the country, we have approximately 19,000 direct and primary processing jobs based on aquaculture.

Finance committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thanks, members of the committee. We will try to bring some energy to this end-of-the-day hearing. Thanks for the opportunity to be here today. I am Tim Kennedy and am about six months into the job with the Aquaculture Industry Alliance. Unfortunately, one of my failings in this job already is that I'm missing a surname like my predecessor, whose name was Ruth Salmon.
