Thank you, Mr. Warawa and witnesses. Welcome, at a distance, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Jacobs.
First of all, to the committee, you need to know that they've set up and have extensive research on the island in terms of species at risk. They do take that. I've visited and I was very impressed with it.
I do have a couple of questions.
Things are changing rapidly in the area of the Sydenham and the Snye, which had pollution problems. Actually they have now much improved in terms of those pollution problems, so there are some good things happening.
I think it was Mr. Johnson's comment that some of the species at risk are not species at risk sometimes. I think of one of the issues around the hickorynut mussel, which is in all our drainage ditches, plugging them up...and yet we have issues of moving ahead sometimes with some projects.
I'm wondering about that, because we're looking to move ahead, and one of the discussions they had is in terms of a wind farm operation. Do you see that as having any impact in terms of some of the issues you've brought forward concerning the species at risk, issues that touch on not only the species at risk legislation but also some of your cultural issues? Do you see that as a conflict?
