Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, witnesses.
A number of points are quite interesting in this. I don't know if you're familiar with the Canadian Healthy Oceans Network, CHONe, and the work they're doing on invertebrates in the Arctic. I attended a presentation this week on Tuesday morning. They presented some of their findings. They're saying that in the case of invertebrates in the seabed and in the water column that the presence of these little animals is actually higher than in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans so that there is significant feedstock available for fish within the Arctic waters.
Is that not the case? That's the work they presented to us, that this ocean was not short of those basic feedstocks.
