Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses for your testimony and expertise here today.
I'm going to start first by talking about aquaculture. Thank you, sir, for coming in. It's very refreshing for me to see a province that is determined to expand in the area you are in. In British Columbia there seems to be a bit of a mixed bag. Many people do not feel quite as comfortable.
Could you maybe point out why there seems to be such support from your provincial government in regard to this area?
