Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Mark Butler, I want to thank you for that great trip that you hosted. Some of our committee were on the trip to Micou's Island. I also wanted to commend you on that great partnership with the St. Margaret's Bay Stewardship Association and the Department of Natural Resources in the province. Everything's about partnerships today. The trip out to Indian Point and the mussel farm there was instructive. We saw the tunicates, something I think most of us will not forget, and witnessed the challenge posed by an invasive species, or a species moving in where it didn't used to be.
Your salmon enhancement and streamkeepers have improved the creek we were walking along. I know those kinds of projects are very popular in the west and you're engaging a lot of people in them. I wanted to say how much we appreciated the time we spent with you on the bus and seeing all those great spots where your work is being appreciated.
Can you tell us about the engagement of local citizens in the projects you're talking about?
