I call the meeting to order.
Pursuant to Standing Order 81(4), I'd like to proceed to the main estimates 2007-2008, votes 1, 5, and 10 under Fisheries and Oceans, referred to the committee on February 27, 2007.
I welcome Deputy Minister Larry Murray and officials from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard.
Deputy Minister Murray has to leave early, so if we could start early, that would be a benefit to everyone.
Mr. Murray.
