Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Apart from the scientific support for these questions, which is going to last for many years, we agree, other departmental strategies are being managed by other sectors. You are aware of the discussions in which several provinces and industry representatives are taking part at present concerning the future and viability of resources. The discussions are not specifically about climate change, but about the future of the fisheries. These discussions take the environment into consideration in a global fashion, and includes climate change and its effects. Also, the department wants to present an aquaculture viability strategy, which could be a viable, more natural, we might say, alternative for fishermen and the fishing sector.
There’s all this work concerning the management plan for the oceans and large bodies of water that we’d like to continue in order to see how the integration of all the variables might affect the St. Lawrence River. In short, there are strategies designed to adjust resources.
