Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our guests this morning.
It's been an interesting process. The MPA study that we started early this year through a motion that I put forward to the committee has evolved now into studying Bill C-55, which is very much interrelated.
Mr. Smith, you talked about some of the current process. We're aware that the current process to establish an MPA is anywhere from five to seven to 10 years.
Would you comment, has that process produced efficient and effective MPAs? I will ask the others on the video conference as well.
