We'll reconvene and get started.
Before we move on, I neglected to mention the presence of Ms. Kelly Block here today, who is substituting in for one of the Conservative members, Mr. Doherty.
Welcome, it's good to see you here.
There is Jean Yip, as well, on the Liberal side, who is substituting in for Mr. Finnigan.
Sorry for that. I apologize.
We'll get to our witnesses as quickly as possible.
By video conference we have Margot Venton from Ecojustice Canada.
Also by video conference, from the Prince Edward Island Fishermen's Association, we have Ian MacPherson, the Executive Director, and Melanie Griffin, Marine Biologist and Program Planner.
Here in the flesh at the meeting is O'neil Cloutier, with the Regroupement des pêcheurs professionnels du Sud de la Gaspésie.
Thank you, all, for attending in whichever manner today.
We'll go right to Mr. Cloutier for his presentation of seven minutes or fewer. I know he's distributed a document, the staff are now trying to copy it in French as well.
Please begin when you're ready, sir.
