Thank you, Mr. Chair, and through you, thank you to the witness for attending today.
You mentioned a bit about the balance and grey area and the unfortunate public perception of constantly focusing on negative aspects of one thing or another. When you talked about working in partnership in some of the forward studies on this, you were including industry as an involved partner in the information you're getting.
I'm wondering how industry is chosen. I'll lay out what I've heard, at least in testimony at committee, so it doesn't seem like I'm biased or trying to slide in a backhanded question on this. I'l be honest that I've heard very polarized testimony at times and we have heard industry say some very different things from other groups. Does the industry involved include open net farming as well as closed containment? I guess I'm asking if industry, which has a polar view to some of the things we've heard, is included in those kinds of forums?
