I'll call this meeting to order.
I'd like to thank our witnesses for appearing here this morning.
Mr. King, welcome to the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans. This is your first appearance, I believe, before our committee. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your new role and thank you very much for being here this morning.
I believe, Mr. King, you're going to start off with some opening comments and will then turn it over to Mr. Huppé to give a brief overview of the estimates.
Mr. King, whenever you're prepared, please proceed.
