I'd like to remind Member Small that risks or impacts are not part of this report. That's out of scope. However, we have properly described all the information we have collected to date on the North Atlantic right whale as part of the report. The report is correct...as part of the scope. We are doing additional work to make sure we understand where they are.
I share the member's concern regarding continuing to support the successful effort in recovering that species. Whale strikes from increased traffic in the offshore are an example of potential impacts. We need to know and to have detailed information on how they use the proposed area. That work is ongoing.
