I call the meeting to order.
We have with us here this morning Mr. Bevan, from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.
Mr. Bevan, welcome. I know you're no stranger to the proceedings of the committee. I'm not sure if you want to make any opening comments. If you do, you're certainly more than welcome. I know members of the committee have some questions they'd like to ask you as well.
If you'd like to make some opening comments, please proceed at this time.
