Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I'd like to ask Ms. Murdoch about the Pacific salmon strategy initiative.

When minister Jordan announced the PSSI, she repeatedly stated it would be “built from the ground up”. That was her quote.

Today we've heard from you that the PSSI is the government's primary response conduit for fish affected by the floods. Obviously the PSSI is up and running, so what is the current status of the PSSI? Can you give us a ballpark figure of the PSSI, whether it's 10%, 20%, 50% established?

Could you provide some information?
