Good afternoon, everyone.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we're studying the current state of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans' small craft harbours.
Welcome, everybody, here this afternoon.
I want to give a special welcome to some departmental officials. We have Sylvie Lapointe, assistant deputy minister, fisheries and harbour management, who's been here twice in one week. That's probably a record. As well, we have Denise Frenette, Director General, Small Craft Harbours.
We'll get started with your opening statements before we get into questioning. Go ahead when you're ready. You have seven minutes or less.
