I call the meeting to order.
We'll get started, seeing that our guests are here and everyone who is going to be here is here. Welcome.
We are studying federal protected areas and conservation objectives.
I will ask that we have 15 minutes at the end of the meeting to go into committee business. We'll need to adopt our subcommittee report. We'll do that at the end of the meeting, if you don't mind, so that we can give our guests full attention and not delay their statements.
I want to welcome Ken Hardie, who is standing in for John Aldag. Thank you very much for coming back and joining us.
We have Rémi Massé standing in for Mark Gerretsen. Thank you very much for that.
Terry Sheehan is standing in for Darren Fisher.
We have a lot of stand-ins today. Everybody is running around trying to do a lot of things.
Wayne Stetski is standing in for Linda Duncan on this particular study. You've been with us the whole way through, so you are not really a stand-in, but we want to recognize that. Welcome to all.
We have three witnesses with us today. From Oceans North Canada, we have Trevor Taylor, who is the director of fisheries conservation. Welcome, Trevor, and thank you.
We have two witnesses from World Wildlife Fund-Canada: David Miller, president and chief executive officer, and Paul Crowley, vice-president, Arctic. Welcome, and thank you.
I will turn the floor over to you. Who would like to go first?
