I thank the witnesses for coming in.

The importance, or potential importance, of the IFI was demonstrated by the recent Blackwater fish kill, where 32,000 fish were killed in a river already depleted in terms of fish stock, which was devastating. They were obviously killed by some form of pollution but no source of that pollution was found, which means that nothing has been done to prevent something like that happening again. Is that a fair summary of where we are at with the Blackwater?
