We're ready to begin.
Today we have with us, from the Maritime Fishermen's Union, Christian Brun, the executive secretary.
Mr. Brun, thank you for being here with us this afternoon. I appreciate your taking the time out of your schedule to join us here in Alma. You'll probably notice throughout the proceedings today that there will be a little beeping noise. That's the time clock. Basically, we allow approximately 10 minutes for presentations. The members have timeframes that they have to adhere to, or I should say I ask them to adhere to, to ask their questions and for your responses as well. So if you hear the beeping throughout, don't be too alarmed, we're just trying to stay as close to the timeframe as we can.
Mr. Brun, I'll ask you to proceed at this time with any comments you'd like to make.
