Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
I just want to talk about the code of practice. I've been involved in farming all my life, and I had a personal experience where we had to build a little bridge over a brook to get to another field. At the time—I'm talking about seven years ago—the permit was issued by the province. It was very accommodating. I was able to do it without an engineering plan. I just had to follow some of the basic steps. It was given by the province.
Now, this river ends up flowing into the ocean. I just wonder where the overlap is between the province and the federal government, because after that I had to get permission from DFO to finalize my permit. I would like you to elaborate on how this all works with the provincial permitting.
