Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. D'Amours, I'm going to talk to you at greater length later, but I just want to tell you that I'd like to spend a day on the river with you.
Mr. Wilbur, thanks for being here.
Thanks to you, also, Mr. Dalton, with the Miramichi Salmon Association.
I know you were in the room before. I'm not going to ask you the three causes that you think.... It was probably one for all of you—striped bass.
I want to go back to Greenland for a second. Yes, as we know, Greenland reduced the amount of salmon that they are allowed to catch, but it's still 30 tonnes.
You said that there were 9,000 salmon, I think, and those 9,000 salmon are returning to some of our rivers, as you probably know, spawning and producing eggs.
Do you think we're doing enough to make Greenland understand that we are at the point now at which Atlantic salmon is on such a decline that it may be time to have a little pause? Do you have talks with them about this issue, maybe to say, “Have a pause, and don't fish for a couple of years”, just to see if we will have more return?
