That's fantastic. Congrats on all the progress. It's wonderful to see.
Mr. Wolfish, in 2023, our budget provided “$650 million over ten years, starting [this year], to support monitoring, assessment, and restoration work in the Great Lakes”—all the ones you mentioned, I believe.
It's been a long time, in my view, since any government in Canada has expressed such sincere interest in supporting the Great Lakes and the Great Lakes watershed. Frankly, it's overdue. It's a huge step forward for our region in water protections and stewardship. Thank you for undertaking that work.
I was hoping to connect it a bit to some of the Great Lakes Fishery Commission's work on preventing lamprey infestations.
Could you elaborate on any of those potential areas where the Canada water agency will be able to support and—I'll stop using water analogies as soon as I'm done—buoy that work?
