Madam Chair, the protection of the wild Pacific salmon stocks is a priority for our government. We have been working with a number of organizations through the B.C. SRIF program to make sure we are working toward habitat restoration. We have also invested in Big Bar, which was a significant landslide last year that seriously impacted the Fraser River salmon.
We are making sure we are doing everything possible to face these challenges head-on. As I have said, there is no one solution to the declining stocks. We are taking a number of different initiatives to make sure we address this concern. We know how important it is to the people of B.C. and to the culture of B.C.
It is not enough to just protect the fish that are still there. We need to make sure we are growing them to abundance, and that is the goal.
