Ernie Klassen at the Fisheries and Oceans Committee

Thank you very much.

The salmon have been a point of controversy on the west coast, obviously, and we also have to deal with conservation issues. A large amount of what we hear is around the southern resident killer whales.

I'm wondering if you could talk a bit about the impact of the harvest of the salmon fisheries and what is being done to protect the southern resident killer whales.
