Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Ms. Stewart, for appearing before the committee.

I have two quick questions.

You spoke in your opening remarks about managing the risks of open net aquaculture. So my first question is very straightforward. Are you concerned about recent cuts, maybe even impending cuts, to Environment Canada and the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans and the ability of both departments to regulate open net aquaculture?
