Thank you so much.
I would speak in French but I had to put myself on the English channel, and I know that messes everyone up. I want to thank my colleague from the Bloc Québécois for this opportunity.
I want to start with you, Mr. Snyder, because of the focus you've brought to habitat. Specifically, I think a lot of Canadians would be shocked to know that the forest fires that have burned through B.C. have not resulted in replanting efforts at all. I'm particularly concerned about that. I know with the steep banks along tributaries into the Thompson and the Fraser, and we see it on the Bonaparte, every time it rains you get debris from the forest fires from a few years ago. I don't know how salmon could live through all that.
I just want to ask if you see any hope of a significant effort from any level of government to replant those slopes with trees that are appropriate to that ecosystem to help restore salmon.
