Thank you.
I just want to correct the record.
Ms. Duncan talked about community pastures as if they were all disappearing. It's simply not true. I have in front of me here the report from the Association of Manitoba Community Pastures. They operate 20 community pastures throughout Manitoba, many in my own constituency. They manage over 350,000 acres of provincial land and provide all kinds of environmental benefits including water filtration, carbon sequestration, and species at risk.
I'd recommend that Ms. Duncan do her research first before she makes a vast conclusion that all these pastures will be ploughed up. They certainly will not. The ownership has been transferred to local people who are managing it for conservation, biodiversity, and beef production, and doing it extremely well.
Commissioner, have you come across any evidence that open net-pen aquaculture has directly affected populations of wild salmon?
