Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think I'll ask three questions and then see how much time there is to respond.
In terms of science, I'm wondering if the department can explain the new relationship with science and science-based decision-making. I understand that Wendy Watson-Wright has left the department. Are there plans to cut this position or fill this position? Do you know who the replacement is, if it's the latter? So that's the first question.
The second question is just on the Cohen inquiry, if there can be some explanation about how this is being funded and if there's a comment about funding for next year as well.
Finally, in terms of west coast salmon, many west coast fishers and their families, first nations, recreationalists, and other interests are quite worried about their livelihood and the future of the industry. We've talked here at committee today about the 2009 Fraser River sockeye collapse. But we're also hearing reports that DFO is warning that there may be a no-fish season this summer on the Skeena system. I'm wondering if you could provide any comment on the steps being taken to address that situation.
