Thank you, Chair.
You mentioned the high level of interest in aquaculture. I represent a coastal riding in British Columbia that includes Sechelt and Gibsons and Powell River and Bowen Island and West Vancouver and Squamish. We've had a series of round tables about the fisheries, and clearly the issue that has been the most compelling is the question of aquaculture.
I'd like to direct a few questions on sea lice--directions that have already been anticipated by my colleagues.
Firstly, we've spoken about whether sea lice are affecting wild salmon. Trevor, I would like you to reply to whether there are outbreaks of sea lice in B.C. fish farms, as opposed to whether they're affecting the wild salmon.
Secondly, you mentioned the tests that are under way to see if resistance to SLICE is growing. Could you tell us when those results are likely to be available?
Thirdly, do you anticipate changes in monitoring systems under the new regulations concerning sea lice, and related to that, what systems are in place today?
