I'd like to start this morning by welcoming our guest, Mr. Irvine, to our committee.
Mr. Irvine, we appreciate you taking the time to come and meet with the committee, give us a presentation, and answer some questions for the committee members. As you can appreciate, with the situation of the lobster pricing, there are many questions that committee members have. We look forward to a great discussion here today.
Once again, thank you very much for being here, Mr. Irvine. I know that you have a presentation. You have provided a PowerPoint presentation, and I thank you very much for providing that as well. I believe that our clerk has advised you that we generally allow about 10 minutes for opening presentations, and then we'll move into questions.
There are time constraints on the questions that committee members have and on the answers. It's in the interest of fairness that we try to get in as many questions as possible. If I interrupt throughout the proceedings here today, please don't be offended. It's just in the interest of fairness and trying to ensure that everybody has the opportunity to ask as many questions as possible.
Having said all that, Mr. Irvine, I will turn the floor over to you. If you want to proceed with your presentation at this point in time, the floor is yours.
