Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Again, thank you for being here.
Mr. Minister, whether you have the answer to this or whether you'll have to rely on staff I'm not sure, but the previous definition prohibiting any alteration of fish habitat may have been overly restrictive. Do you believe it was overly restrictive in preventing any experimental operations that may have resulted in a net increase in fish habitat, or improvement to fish habitat, or an increase in fish populations? Was that previous prohibition overly restrictive?
