Thanks, Clare, for adding those good comments.
To wrap up, I just want to say that countries are increasingly turning to aquaculture to relieve the pressure on wild stocks and to grow healthy and affordable seafood. Canada is poised to become a world leader, yet some misguided public and political opposition means that our growers can't meet the demand for our product.
I really thank you for the opportunity to be here today, but I do encourage you to step back from the heat of the controversy to see the big picture. Aquaculture is the industry of the future. It's time that we gave it the support it deserves. It will be of significant benefit to all Canadians.
Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
