Thank you, Mr. Taft. I appreciate your four recommendations. I would suggest that if you have further recommendations, for instance, on the oil tanker project or anything else that you think is relevant, you submit it to this committee for our consideration.
Mr. Harris, thank you for being here and for providing your testimony in person. You spoke about the spiritual connection to the whales for your people. You specifically mentioned the mother who carried her dead calf for those many days. You called on the government. You mentioned that DFO, or the government, has fallen down on the job in terms of protecting salmon.
I have two questions. What would it mean for your culture and your people to lose the whale? What do you recommend the government or this committee do to protect whales?
