Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have just two quick points.
First of all, Mr. Hardie—and all my colleagues, actually—I just want to remind you that there was also testimony provided by John White from Snuneymuxw, who did identify that Snuneymuxw is also willing and keen to do this work. I just want to clarify that this is also testimony that was provided.
Another thing I want to highlight is just how different they are. With regard to all the coasts and the waterways that we're talking about, the situations are so different. I think it's important for us to consider that in this study.
I want to go to Mr. Charleson.
First of all, I don't think I thanked you for all the important work that you do through the Coastal Restoration Society. It does such important work along the west coast, and I know, Mr. Charleson, that you're out on the water quite often. I'm wondering if you can share with us some of the implications that you're seeing of these vessels being left abandoned along our coasts.
What is the impact on our surrounding marine ecosystems, on food security, on our coastal communities and so on?
