Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Abbott and Ms. Milewski, we're pleased to have you here.
You mentioned, Ms. Milewski, that the federal and provincial environmental assessments are not working very well. In your slides you indicated too that there are certain areas where the open-net concept is in place, and other than the worms that are not food for anything there.... In an area where there are no nets, there would be 17 or 18 different species.
I'd just like you to elaborate on that and on what effect you see that having on the area around the open-net area, what effect it would have on the wild salmon and other species.
