Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to the panel for coming out here today. This is an important subject.
Mr. McCann, I'll start with you. You were singing to the choir here when you were talking about how government needs to basically coordinate and how there's an underlying issue across Canada and in different agencies in that they're all fragmented. When it comes to water control or, I guess, water authorities, we have a multitude of different agencies, and I guess this is one of the reasons we're trying to clarify this in the study.
I do remember the days of DFO, when they came over the landscape with a very top-down type of approach. As we go down this road of wanting to do better in Canada, are there any things we can point out or any rules we should be adhering to in order to make sure that we don't go beyond that and develop that kind of agency again, especially when it comes to this water agency?
