Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I may share part of my time with other colleagues here, but I will try to get through some questions fairly quickly.
Thank you, all, for being here today, by the way. This is extremely important for the salmon and the people who rely on them all through British Columbia, not just on the Fraser. There are many communities that rely on those salmon up and down the coast.
Ms. Reid, I'll get right down to brass tacks. You made a comment in your opening that it made a bad situation worse. How bad was the situation before the Big Bar slide?
