Good morning. My name is Todd Doherty. I'm the member of Parliament for Cariboo—Prince George. I'm the official opposition critic for the Asia-Pacific gateway, but also for Oceans and Fisheries and for the Canadian Coast Guard.
In our riding, as Mel has said, we have a long-standing salmon fishery, in terms of our first nations and our recreational fishing as well. I'm very excited to be here with our colleagues. I know that we've gone around and said Liberal and Conservative, but I echo my comments from yesterday that once we're elected we represent all.
I'm excited to be here. We've had a great three days of testimony on the northern cod. I'm looking forward to the passionate testimony today. I'm also looking forward to working with our committee members afterwards in developing an action-based plan after our study's done. Thank you for being here today and I really look forward to your testimony.
