Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
My question is addressed to the videoconference participants. Recently, I saw a program on salmon aquaculture in Chile. I can tell you that when you see that, you have a lot of questions about what can be done well or poorly. In the case of Chile, you can see that things are being done very poorly because as in other areas unfortunately, the objective is quantity rather than quality. When that is the case, anything can happen.
You talked about enclosed tanks and open net pens in the ocean. I would like to know more about what was done in the Gaspé, the Quebec riding I represent, with land-based tanks. They were not in small, medium or large bays, but completely out of the water.
I would like you to tell us of the ways in which things can be done. I understand very well that whatever the type of salmon aquaculture one is practising, when you are doing this on a large scale, there are greater risks and a larger number of them. That is how I see things and I would like to hear what you have to say in this regard.
