Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for appearing in front of us today. If my voice wants to last for the seven-minute duration, I have a few questions.
I'll start with the Hydropower Association. In my province, we do have a major hydro dam that provides a good chunk of the power in New Brunswick. Its due date is pretty much up and we're going to have to look at different options. I'm not sure if it was Mr. Irving who said that most of the older dams have a higher head of water. I suppose Mactaquac would be one of those. I know there have been attempts to get the salmon and other species across, and it has never really worked right. When we were on our tour in the Miramichi, we actually had testimony to the effect that some of the first nations have lost many species of fish that they traditionally used to....
If it were to be rebuilt, could we build that in a way that we would include a passage for the salmon and other species?
