Hello, everybody, and welcome. We have a meeting that is going to be done in two parts. The first part will be about our review pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Monday, September 19. The committee commences its study to review changes made to the Fisheries Act of 2012. In the second hour, we'll be talking about the supplementary estimates, with votes to be taken, and we'll have officials from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and from the Coast Guard.
In the meantime, let's get to our first part. We have two distinguished guests with us today. From West Coast Environmental Law, we have the staff counsel, Ms. Linda Nowlan. Thank you, Ms. Nowlan, for joining us. As an individual, which is quite a distinction here, sir, we have Otto Langer, fisheries biologist, who is no stranger to us, of course. Mr. Langer, we welcome you.
The way this works, as you know and for those who are watching, is that we start with 10-minute introductory statements. You can speak to this particular issue for 10 minutes or less, and then we'll open up the floor to questions and comments.
Mr. Langer, I'm going to start with you, sir.
