Thank you very much.
It's good to hear from you all.
I bring greetings to Mr. Ridal and Mr. Rennie from Eric Duncan, who wishes he could have been here today. He asked if I could ask a couple of questions.
It's clear you have worked together on some of this research. I believe there was some federal funding and that Fisheries and Oceans had contributed some money.
When those grants for research funding were given, was there also an indication at that time that the government would be following up on those recommendations, or is it simply information that they will receive and do with what they will? Did you get a commitment that there would be a government response and an action plan that would come out of the research that you presented to them?
