The thought is that all those programs are staying in place, and we have almost $3 billion in new money to do more.

We have exactly one minute left.
Mr. McDonald, I don't suppose you have the shortest question known to this committee.

No, I probably wouldn't, and I probably won't even go with a question. What I wanted to bring up, though, Mr. Chair, is that an earlier witness, Dr. Devillers, mentioned that an MPA, which is in my province, my hometown of Eastport, is not doing what it was really put in place or designed to do. I do know a local fisherman who played a big role in that area actually being named as an MPA. I would ask the permission of the committee to invite Mr. George Feltham to either appear in person or by video to talk to us about the MPA, since he probably worked the hardest, as a fisherman, to get it designated as an MPA, and see if his testimony coincides with what we heard today.

It is duly noted, and Mr. McDonald will get hold of Mr. Feltham as soon as possible.
Thank you to our guests, Ms. Blewett, Mr. Morel, Mr. Matson, Commissioner Hutchinson, and of course, our parliamentary secretary, Mr. Beech, the member of Parliament for Burnaby North—Seymour.
Thank you, folks. Have yourselves a great, productive, busy summer.
We are now adjourned.
