Thank you.

Mr. Chair, my question is for Mr. Lambe.

You referenced $70 million in accumulated debt, basically, on the Canadian side, if they were to catch up in payments. At about 3% interest, we'd be looking at $140 million owed by Canada right now over 22 years. What's the economic impact of that to Great Lakes fisheries in terms of lampreys that weren't destroyed?
