I want you to look into the bright light.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to all our new members of the committee, and welcome to our chair and vice-chairs. Congratulations.
Just as guidance to the steering committee, I guess I'm hearing and agree that our top three priorities are snow crab, the Fisheries Act, and west coast aquaculture--finishing them up.
Before we take on any more, and as guidance to the steering committee, I would like to propose that we finish snow crab first, and blend in the west coast trip if we get approval from the Liaison Committee to do that.
Let's say the Fisheries Act were to come within the next few weeks or month. Will that pre-empt everything else, or are we going to finish the snow crab in spite of the Fisheries Act coming and then move to the Fisheries Act? Or are we going to finish the snow crab and west coast aquaculture, at least to a point, and then go to the Fisheries Act before we take on anything else?
As guidance from the steering committee, I suggest we rank them in that order. We would do snow crab, then west coast aquaculture, and then the Fisheries Act would pre-empt anything else after that.
