My thanks to the witnesses for their input thus far. It's a whole lot of information for us to take in, in a short sitting, so I'm going to try to pick off a few things here and there.
I'll begin with Mr. Burden.
We heard earlier about the designation of a variety of areas of concern in the Great Lakes area. I wondered if DFO had input into those. If so, what kinds of factors would be used by DFO to reach a conclusion that a specific area was an area of concern?
