Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to thank both witnesses for joining us this afternoon.
One of my concerns is the impact of climate change. When we talk about the fishery, the Canadian fish and seafood industry, we must really take time to look at the impact of climate change in this area. We've seen the temperature in the Gulf of St. Lawrence rise by 2°C. This has significantly affected certain fisheries.
In terms of protecting Canada's fish and seafood industry, how can Canada ensure that its waters truly sustain marine life in order to avoid losing valuable aquatic ecosystems and species?
I'll ask Ms. Brown to answer my question first. I'll then put the question to Mr. Sproul.
