Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My questions will be for Mr. Bos.
You have worked on countless projects to bring back viable salmon habitat and increase salmon abundance on Vancouver Island. The Sooke River has benefited from your enhancement efforts to increase the natural spawning population. You have worked co-operatively with first nations, local businesses and the angling community to make positive change for our salmon populations, yet we hear that rather than DFO assisting your efforts, we have seen senior management seemingly only get in the way.
How does DFO actually assist you in your organization's efforts to help increase salmon populations?
