Fisheries committee  Do you want to talk a little about the rapid response related to Asian carp? It's probably the most relevant.

Fisheries committee  Until there's a reproducing population established, or an established population in the Great Lakes, we have to think what we're doing is successful. Because for the established populations are on the U.S. side, the biggest thing is about keeping them out. A lot of that right no

Fisheries committee  Do you mean for a particular species, or just in general?

Fisheries committee  Sophie, do you have anything?

Fisheries committee  I think it's important to note that the Asian carp program does have a very important prevention component. It is not necessarily what you would refer to as a fully reactionary program. It does have investments all the way along, from prevention and keeping them out of the Great

Fisheries committee  I'll let Sophie maybe take a stab at answering that.

Fisheries committee  As much as you're willing to give us.

Fisheries committee  I think that's because coming up with the number is really hard.

Public Safety committee  We had 3,500 people who responded to the survey and we had many comments related to that. I think the question wasn't phrased exactly like that, but I think we had a question—maybe Brian could pull that up quickly— related to whether they thought this legislation was going to enh

Public Safety committee  Yes. I think having transparency in the way we look at the information to make the decisions but also transparency in the decision-making as to why it was done and the evidence that was used to support it, at both the front and back ends, is important.

Public Safety committee  I think both the lack of oversight and having it up to an individual group is a problem.

Public Safety committee  No, and that's an area we would like to learn a lot more about. That's where the devil is in the details about how those records would actually be used. That's a really important thing for us to get some more information on in order to make an informed decision on what that looks
