A notice has been provided by Mr. Cleary. I will give you a text of the motion that's been provided. The motion is:
That the [Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans] immediately undertake a study on the impacts of the cuts to the inshore shrimp quota off the coast of Newfoundland & Labrador on fishermen and the local economy; and that the study include a review of the Department of Fisheries and Ocean’s science related to the shrimp fishery and the management policy known as last in first out; and that witnesses include but are not limited to: DFO officials, DFO scientists, local fishermen, and local processors.
Thank you, Mr. Cleary. That notice has been provided.
Thank you to our witnesses, once again. I appreciate your patience, Mr. Hildebrand and Mr. Thompson.
Mr. Ström is here to provide legal advice to our witnesses. He's not here to be questioned with respect to the presentation that the officials will make. Just so you're aware of Mr. Ström's presence here at the table.
Mr. Hildebrand, if you want to proceed with your presentation, once again. Thank you very much.
