I'll call this meeting to order.
I'd like to thank our guests for joining us today. As you are now doubt aware, we are studying recreational fisheries in Canada. We certainly do appreciate your taking the time today to meet with the committee members to share your comments and to answer their questions.
As is part of our practice, we generally allow about 10 minutes for guests from each organization to make comments and remarks. Then we'll go into questions by committee members and your answers. I'd ask, gentlemen, that you try to keep your responses as concise as possible, as members are constrained by time limits on their interventions. To allow as many questions as possible in that timeframe, I'd ask that you please respect that. Having said that, I once again say thank you very much.
Mr. James, maybe we'll lead off with you, and then Mr. Wood and Mr. Haley will follow with their presentations. Whenever you're ready, Mr. James, the floor is yours.
