Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank all of the witnesses for appearing today. It's been very interesting testimony.
Mr. Morlock, I'd like to start with you, please. You made a statement at the very beginning of your testimony that fish stocks in Canada were actually healthy. We, as a committee, have heard that's actually not the case. We've heard from the environmental auditor that there are196 aquatic species at risk, and that's a non-complete list. We've also done studies on the state of the Atlantic salmon and on the cod fishery off Newfoundland. I'd like to know where the evidence is to back up your statement that species in Canada are not at risk.
