Dr. Morton, you're waving your hand.

Alexandra Morton

You have to get the industry out of the ocean, because if you have a powerful agriculture branch now promoting it being in the ocean, I think we'll remain in deadlock, and wild salmon just don't have that time left.

However, moving them on land or to closed-containment, and giving them over to agriculture and food production might work?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm sure I've used up all of Mr. Morrissey's time.

The Chair Liberal Ken McDonald

You managed to turn two minutes into about three. You're the only person I know who can control time like that. You create time.

That concludes our session. I want to say a big thank you to our witnesses who appeared today and shared their knowledge with us.

Thank you to our translation team, our analysts, our clerk and everybody who had anything to do to make this meeting a success.

The meeting is adjourned.
