Thank you, Chair.
Minister, I will give you the chance to answer the questions I have.
The oyster industry in P.E.I. is facing a crisis. All indications are that it will spread to neighbouring provinces. This industry will depend heavily on the Atlantic fisheries fund. That's one example of a support program going forward. I know you're working well on it.
Could you comment briefly, because then I want to pivot to Mr. MacKinnon? We don't often have the president of the CFIA before the committee.
How is the department preparing to support this vital industry? We should all be confident that there will be a future if we get the steps right.
