Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Hello to both of you and also to those accompanying you.
It is important for the members of this committee not only to be made aware of the situation, but also informed of the various reasons for concern about marine resources in the Baie des Chaleurs.
One of the reasons for concern, and you mentioned it in your presentation, is the cumulative effect. I know the Belledune site. It is not as if there were no other polluting plants there and someone wanted to operate an incinerator. Belledune has a history of pollution, as you mentioned earlier.
I would like to go a bit further and get more detail about this cumulative effect. You also mentioned that the Baie des Chaleurs region is susceptible to this kind of effect. If we were dealing with a river, the situation would not be the same. However, when we are dealing with a bay, where the water movement is less strong. . . . I would like you to give more detail about the cumulative effect.
