Thank you, Gus, and thank you, Jim, for appearing before us.
One of the reasons you were asked to be here is to provide some testimony and reply to some of your colleagues.
You represent the fishing industry. Gus, I think you'd call yourself, in fairness, one of the big fish killers of your day. You were very successful at harvesting.
We heard testimony from representatives of the current Canadian offshore industry who really said they support this. They support these revised amendments, and they seemed to do so on the basis that it was about preservation of Canadian shares, Canadian quota. I know from my own chats, and from hearing you lecture in other forums, that you talk not only about Canadian shares but also about conservation. The two-thirds voting structure was applauded by some because it afforded increased Canadian protection of share structure.
Could you inform the committee of your own impressions, as one of the big fish killers of your day, of what it does to conservation, or potentially to conservation?
