You've seen the minister's letter announcing that we are doing further testing\u2014and we can speak to that if you wish.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2556257\" data-originallang=\"en\">In terms of the potential effect of closed containment, I would say two things. First, it obviously has an effect on distancing the aquaculture-based fish from the broader environment. That's not 100% in the system, as I believe you know. But we also believe that we have a safe environment now, with proper protocols in place. For instance, under our B.C. regulatory system, we require all facilities to have health management plans, to have reporting to CFIA and to ourselves on disease outbreaks, and to have biosecurity protocols in place. While the closed containment technology does not currently exist in a way that can be operated, in our view, we believe that we have an adequate system in place. That said, we take the findings very seriously, and we are doing further testing to see what bears out from them. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2556256\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aurais une ou deux choses \u00e0 dire l\u00e0-dessus. Vous avez vu la lettre du ministre annon\u00e7ant que nous allons effectuer davantage de tests \u2014 et nous pourrions vous en parler si vous voulez.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2556257\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pour ce qui est des effets potentiels de l'aquaculture en parcs clos, je dirais deux choses. Premi\u00e8rement, celle-ci a clairement un effet du fait d'\u00e9loigner les poissons d'\u00e9levage de l'environnement au sens large. Mais cela ne repr\u00e9sente pas 100 p. 100 du syst\u00e8me, comme vous le savez, je pense. Mais nous croyons \u00e9galement que nous avons \u00e0 l'heure actuelle un environnement s\u00fbr, avec, en place, les bons protocoles. Par exemple, en vertu du syst\u00e8me de r\u00e9glementation en Colombie-Britannique, nous exigeons de toutes les installations qu'elles aient des plans de gestion de la sant\u00e9, qu'elles fassent des rapports \u00e0 l'ACIA ainsi qu'\u00e0 nous lors d'\u00e9closions de maladies, et qu'elles adoptent des protocoles de bios\u00e9curit\u00e9. Bien que les techniques d'aquaculture en parcs clos ne soient pas encore op\u00e9rationnelles, nous estimons que nous avons en place un syst\u00e8me ad\u00e9quat. Cela \u00e9tant dit, nous prenons tr\u00e8s au s\u00e9rieux les r\u00e9sultats des \u00e9tudes et nous poursuivons le travail de testage pour bien cerner la situation.</p>"
