Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for appearing here today and giving very insightful testimony. Thank you for the work that you do on this.
I wanted to start off by asking both of you a question. I can maybe start with Ms. Dubois, and then we'll go to Ms. Bowman. In your opinion, has the Wrecked, Abandoned or Hazardous Vessels Act achieved its stated purpose? In your estimation, do you believe it is accomplishing what it set out to do?
I'll start with you, Ms. Dubois.
