Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank Mr. MacDonald and Dr. Dill for making your presentations. I could say that you both have provided very clear testimony and made very strong statements linking sea lice from fish farms to wild salmon.
When I've even suggested that, I've been called irresponsible. In fact, I presented a private member's bill just recently looking to move to closed containment for aquaculture, so I certainly appreciate what you're both saying and hearing your information.
I do have a few questions. Perhaps I could start with Dr. Dill.
We've heard a lot about how sea lice can impact wild salmon. Could you just walk me through how lice actually kill wild salmon? How does that happen?
