Okay. Thank you for that.
With regard to the conversation I had with the Norwegian ambassador to Canada about this, what he told me was that the aquaculture industry started, similarly, 40 years ago—this is what I heard anyway—but that they have always had this constant of advancing their technology. They're looking at putting these pens further out into deeper waters so that the effects of the food falling through the nets are less impactful. To me, something that we should probably look at as a nation is whether there are countries doing this better and what they are doing. Then, obviously, we should implement that in our country.
I have just one last comment, maybe for Dr. Rosenau because we talked about a mutual friend of ours, Dean Werk.
One thing I am concerned about in some of these actions of the minister is the effects on those people who are actually the environmental stewards on the water. Dean is one of them. He's the one who is actually out there. I was with him; we were doing some sturgeon research on the water as part of that program. It's been a very successful program. That's why we still have sturgeon today. There are sturgeon there that are older than Confederation, some of them. That's how old they are, as you know.
What can we do to better support those environmental stewards—the ones who are going out there and who might fish with fishing rods during the week but are out on the weekend? They're picking up garbage along the stream, or they're helping remediate streams and restore the habitat that we just talked about that's been lost in some cases. How do we better help those volunteers do more of that? To me, it seems like it would be a great investment. Have you any thoughts on that?
