Thank you very much, and thank you to our witnesses for being here. I'll admit my bias right up front. I am a proud member of the Atlantic Salmon Federation, and this summer I was also inducted into the Miramichi Salmon Association, having fished there for the first time this year. I'm beginning to have a deep and abiding affinity for wild Atlantic salmon. They're truly a remarkable animal.
Having said that, I also represent a rural area--admittedly in western Canada, but I wear a rural hat--so when I see the number of rural jobs off the coasts based on aquaculture, I find it very compelling. The ASF did some great work in years past to reduce and eventually help eliminate the commercial fishing of wild Atlantic salmon. Would you say that the increased aquaculture production makes the requirement to ever fish wild Atlantic salmon...that it would never happen again, because we produce enough fish through aquaculture?
