Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank our guests for being here today as well.
Just as a note, I'll split my time with Mr. Cleary.
You mentioned that you are proponents of closed containment in terms of the aquaculture industry on the east coast. This is a two-part question. Do you know of any other members of the public or other industries that support that position in eastern Canada? Could you also explain why you think improving open-net aquaculture isn't the way to go to move forward?
