All right. We'll suspend for a moment and allow the technicians to connect the new witness.
Apparently we're having some technical difficulties in hooking up Mr. McIsaac from B.C.
I know this is our last meeting until probably well into the fall, or it may be the winter before any Fisheries and Oceans committee meets again. I wanted to take the opportunity to thank all our staff for being so supportive, including our translators.
I also want to thank the committee members for being so patient. I think as a committee we operated pretty well, and for the most part in a non-partisan way, on the studies we have done. I know at times there might have been a scattered little jab here and there, but it wouldn't be any fun if that didn't take place.
I want to thank even those who sub in the odd time, such as Vance, and of course our friend Robert Sopuck, who was a regular member of the committee prior to this time. It's always good to see you back.
Again, thank you to everyone for making this an enjoyable committee to work on and to chair and to have any involvement with whatsoever.
