Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to our guests.
I have a couple of questions. The first one picks up on the transparency and controversy issues.
Ruth, you used words like “largely mitigated” and “minimal impact.” We've heard testimony in this committee from scientists who have said that sea lice from fish farms are definitely a problem on the west coast, and it seems from your word choice that you also feel that is possible.
Could you comment a bit further on that? It seems to be part of the controversy. We'll leave it at that.
