Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank all of the witnesses for appearing today. It has been a very interesting session with a lot of questions, so I'm going to try to keep it as concise as I can.
On the first question, I want to go to you, Ms. Venton. You've talked about the lack of enforcement and the closing of the habitat offices and how destructive that has been. In one of your recommendations you talk about adding “clear provisions that allows concerned citizens to request that DFO investigate an alleged fish habitat violation” and to “add a provision that allows concerned citizens acting in good faith to take action in the courts to enforce the act where DFO is unwilling or unable to do so”. Can you expand on that? Tell me how you see that actually working.
