Thank you, Mr. Chair.
There are similarities between Atlantic salmon and Pacific salmon. I would have liked to have a little more detail on the obstacles that salmon face at various points in their lives. There are times when they are more vulnerable. We know that Atlantic salmon go from freshwater to salt water and then come back to freshwater.
What's the biggest threat to Pacific salmon at every stage of their lives? Is there a more critical time? How can the department's and scientists' involvement help the salmon at that time?
I don't know who's in the best position to answer that.
