Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for coming to take part in our important study.

Mr. Fleck, I'm going to start with you.

I had a text this morning from Michael Barron, a lobster and crab fisherman from Cape Breton Island. He said there are plans to create a 4,000-square-kilometre wind farm off Cape Breton on St. Anns Bank. He says he'll be forced into early retirement.

How many lobster traps can go on a 4,000-square-kilometre patch of the ocean floor, do you think, Mr. Fleck?
