Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I certainly want to welcome the witnesses. Thank you for your excellent presentations.
Mr. Plourde, the Quebec Outfitters Federation Inc. interests me. You're involved in taking care of 425,000 Quebeckers and people from outside Quebec, and approximately 2,000 to 3,000 from overseas. I would just like you to explain to the committee what the outfitters in your organization do. You indicate that you have a management mandate. You spoke about invasive species. It looks like you're an outfitters federation that might be involved with retail, but it looks like you have an in-depth involvement in the fishery itself. I'd just like you to give an outline to the committee of just what you do and what your responsibilities are.
