I believe we could provide the summary of the workshop that brought a number of scientists together to look at the issue of closed containment technology. I believe that material is publicly available. In any event, I will look into it to determine what can be provided.

Thank you very much.

On behalf of the committee, I want to thank the deputy and her staff for being so accommodating today. We appreciate your taking the time to meet with the committee to provide answers to the many questions we have. We look forward to seeing you again in the not too distant future.

Before we adjourn, Mr. Donnelly has one point that he wanted to raise. He has filed a notice of motion.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I want to make the committee aware of the motion. I know we don't have time to debate it this week, but I'll read it so committee members know what it is:

That, in response to information presented to the Committee by Trevor Swerdfager, Director General for Fisheries and Aquaculture Management at the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the Committee ask Alexandra Morton to appear before it at the next most convenient possible occasion in order to speak on the issue of sea lice and their impact on the salmon stocks as well as to respond to the testimony given by representatives from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

The meeting is adjourned.
