Peter Stoffer at the Fisheries and Oceans Committee

Thank you, Mr. Byrne, for bringing that up.

Now we will go back to our order of business of two motions. The first motion, of course, was from Monsieur Lévesque. I'll read it to the committee:

That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the Committee undertake a study on the condition of the eel grass (zostera marina) beds in James Bay and that representatives of the Cree Nation of Chisasibi, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and other witnesses as appropriate be invited to appear.

Mr. Lévesque, would you like to explain your motion, please?
