Thank you.
I appreciate what Mr. Hardie just said on this. It is very clear that in Atlantic Canada, aquaculture is under the jurisdiction of the provinces. To me, to make some kind of motion regarding this and to have the committee take this up would be beyond our scope and really overreach into an area of provincial jurisdiction.
It has repeatedly been made clear by all of the premiers and the ministers of fisheries in our region that this is one area we should not be weighing in on. British Columbia is a situation in and of itself, but Atlantic Canada has been very clear on this, and it is not something we need to be taking up.
