Thank you, Mr. Cormier.
Before we move to questions, folks, and since we have the cameras here, I know the minister brought up the ability to have input through a department website. We also have that ability here within this committee. I would like to remind everyone who is watching or in the room that we have a deadline of November 30 for written submissions to the committee. The website is www.parl.gc.ca/committees and search for FOPO, fisheries and oceans.
That being said, we now go to questions and comments.
Mr. Finnigan, the floor is yours and you have seven minutes.
