Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks to our guests for being here today.

I come from a constituency that is not particularly affected by fishing. There is not a lot of deep-sea fishing between Montreal and Quebec City. So my questions will be more general and theoretical.

We have read in the papers that the budget for the Department of Foreign Affairs has decreased by 20% since 2006 and that it will continue to decrease. Does that affect your operations indirectly? Does it concern you?
