All right, we'll begin.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm pleased to welcome this morning the Honourable Gail Shea, the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, and her delegation from the department.
We're here to review the supplementary estimates. The minister will be with us for one hour. The officials, I believe, will be staying for the balance, until one o'clock. I'm going to ask that everyone please adhere to the timeframes allotted and try to maximize the time as best as possible.
I'm going to ask Minister Shea if she wants to begin with some opening comments.
Minister.
