Thanks.
Thank you for appearing and for your presentation.
Here's my first question. You mentioned the aquaculture regulations. You're working on them. I'm wondering if you could comment on the timeline. When do you think they will be ready for implementation? Also, would they be coming in independent of the work on the Fisheries Act that is possibly being addressed or is being addressed?
Secondly, in terms of the emerging issue of SLICE resistance, could you comment on how the department is dealing with it? There have been some comments or allegations that there's some resistance to that being developed. Perhaps I could get your comment on that.
Thirdly, could you mention the relationship to the inquiry and how you see aquaculture fitting in, and if there's any decision to wait for the outcome of the inquiry before dealing with, for instance, the issue of SLICE, or other emerging issues that may need to be dealt with prior to the outcome of the inquiry?
Finally, there is interest on both sides, I guess, in the issue in aquaculture of looking at closed containment. I'm just curious to hear if you have a comment on what the impact would be of the transition from open net to closed containment. Perhaps you could provide comments on that.
