Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses for being here.
I want to start off with this question, though I'm not sure who might be able to answer it.
From the time that Environment and Climate Change Canada identifies a possible or potential source of contamination, how long would it take for a sample to be collected and taken to the lab and for it to be determined whether an area is safe or it has to go through CFIA's testing of clams or mollusks? It sounds like DFO makes a decision based on that.
How much time would elapse?
