Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Dr. Walters, I noted your comment on predation. One of the work items that our committee will be undertaking in the future is a study on predation on both the west coast and the east coast. We hope to have you come back to committee to talk about predation specifically.
In the meantime, I note that three of our witnesses—Mr. Zeman, Mr. Hwang and Mr. Hill—expressly referenced dysfunction in DFO, and Dr. Walters implied it. Mr. Hwang referenced an independent oversight body.
I want to throw this question out to all of our witnesses. What structural changes would you make to DFO to make it more responsive to stakeholders and more effective in addressing the very real challenges facing our west coast salmon stocks?
Any of you can respond.
