Great. I must say that having been a little bit involved with the development of the program, I'd like to publicly compliment the departmental staff for being able to administer what obviously was a fairly complex program, and administer it in a manner that was very congruent with what the angling groups wanted. Things were done on time; funding was advanced on time. I think the department itself, Minister, under your watch, deserves a lot of credit for how the program was rolled out, and we're certainly looking forward to the next round as it unfolds.
I'm in fairly constant touch, as the chair of the Conservative hunting and angling caucus, with angling groups across the country. They're very excited about what your department is doing under your watch.
Speaking of further good news under your watch, Minister, it has been reported that the department is estimating record Pacific salmon runs off the west coast. Specifically, the sockeye salmon run is projected to be a record, but in the article written by Mark Hume, he also talks about up and down the B.C. coast, chinook and coho being at record levels. I would make the point that the record salmon run in 2010 off the coast of B.C., and the expected even larger run off the coast of B.C. in 2014, was under the watch of this Conservative government, under your watch as well, Madam Minister. I think the point has been proven that the changes that we have made to the Fisheries Act and the fisheries management programs are working.
Can you discuss what we're looking forward to in terms of that Pacific salmon run?
