Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Taylor, looking at the obstruction of the passage of the salmon, could they be, in your opinion...? I'd just like to have your view, possibly looking at Bill C-45 and Bill C-38, on whether they have made any changes that will help the situation. Do you think that it could obstruct fish from the feeding grounds or spawning grounds?
I'd like you to comment on the minister's authority to allow fish to be killed. Do you see any time or any reason that this should happen? If so, I'd like you to explain to the committee how you think the minister would have that authority. He has the authority, but what would be a good enough reason to allow these types of things to happen?
Also, if you have some recommendations to expand upon, go straight ahead. I expect you have a lot.
