Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. It's a pleasure to join the committee once again.
I want to underline one person who is here who we didn't mention. Mr. Melillo is also here, joining us. It's good to see Eric here as well.
In Nova Scotia, I got to be the minister of fisheries and aquaculture for a number of years. The agreement we always had with DFO and maybe the CFIA—maybe less with the Department of the Environment—was that when there were a number of closed beaches identified, they were qualified as aquaculture sites. Companies that had depuration capabilities were the ones that came in and managed the leases, per se. I wouldn't say they permitted the harvesters, but the harvesters normally worked for the company that had the depuration, so they were able to sell the product back and forth.
Is that experience used across Canada, or is that something that's used specifically in Nova Scotia?
