Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Again, welcome to beautiful Miramichi. We'll get to tour a good part of it in two days. I want to thank the guests invited to appear here. They're very passionate, as everyone on the Miramichi is. The rich history of the salmon, at one time commercial and now recreational, fishery is very important. I think we're still looking at numbers around $20 million a year.
Again, I just want to say welcome, please talk to the people here because that's what it's all about. The fishery has been here for hundreds of years and we're hoping that it will be here for many hundreds of years. I welcome Mr. Collins this morning.
That's my welcome. I'll pass it on to my next colleague.
