Madam Chair, I would like to finish my comments on the Discovery Islands. What I thought was very important was that we heard directly from first nations communities that we could not make unilateral decisions without consulting with them before we made decisions on the Discovery Islands fish farms. That is one of the reasons we are having those conversations now. I have met with first nations chiefs directly on this issue. We know that we are taking an area-based management approach to aquaculture. We are going to continue to do the hard work that needs to be done.
