Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll turn to Ms. Garrah again for this one.
DFO appears to be cutting components that are key to the recovery of wild salmon on the west coast—the genomics lab in Nanaimo, the salmon enhancement program and, certainly not least, habitat restoration. Some cuts will mean that habitat staff who are managing an area that is twice the size of Vancouver Island will be managing that area from 500 kilometres away. It's an area that produces some of the largest and strongest salmon, ones your department has identified as key to the recovery of southern resident killer whales.
Can you explain how it can be cost-effective to move habitat management staff 500 kilometres away from their work?
