Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our witnesses for being here today.
Mr. Crowley, one of the things we've heard time and time again is that you wouldn't expect to see this type of work happening in a national park, or you wouldn't expect this in a national park. We've heard that a lot. My question is, can you name any national park where the surrounding communities were reliant on what was happening in the park before it was a national park?
When you're looking at an MPA, you have communities that are reliant on the fishing industry and possibly reliant on oil and gas. I get concerned when we're comparing national parks, because I personally.... I guess that's why I'm asking you if they've ever shut down an industry in a national park, an industry that had sustained a community. Can you give me any examples of where that may have happened?
