Thirty seconds runs into five minutes in a hurry.
I would mention before we start—I think most people were given this—that Dr. Jean-Denis Dutil, a DFO scientist at the Maurice Lamontagne Institute, will give a talk entitled, “Cod Recovery: Food for Thought”, this Friday, December 8, from 1:30 to 2:30, at the Peter Mitchell Room, 200 Kent Street.
Some of our members may want to take that in, if they're here on Friday afternoon.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the study on marine conservation issues on the east coast, I'd like to welcome our next witness from the World Wildlife Fund of Canada, Robert Rangeley, the vice-president for the Atlantic region.
Welcome. I'd ask you to start your presentation. I'm sure we have members who are anxious to ask questions.
