Thank you very much.

Thanks, gentlemen, for being with us today.

My riding is on Lake Huron, on the St. Clair River in the Great Lakes area.

I have a quick question that I'd like to ask Mr. Farrant.

We talk about restocking and keeping the fish stocks vibrant and at a suitable level, but we know that fish stocking can also cause some problems, with the introduction of aquatic invasive species and so on.

Could you talk a bit about fish stocking and how your organization might be involved with that, and maybe talk about any particular concerns you might have? What are the negative interactions between fish stocking and the native fish communities that we have?
