Good morning, everyone.
Welcome back to our study of marine protected areas. Today our meeting will be two hours. The first hour will be with our guests. I'll get to them in just a few moments.
During the second hour we're going to discuss several topics that we have to address, including the mission that we're going to be doing to western Canada, plus we're going to discuss the planning stage of the east coast trip for the fall, and a few other things you may want to bring up. Bear that in mind, because we have a substantial amount of time for committee business, so anything you want to bring up at that time, we'll talk about it then. That's an hour from now.
In the meantime we do have two very special guests this morning as we continue our study on marine protected areas.
First of all, before I get to that, I always like to introduce our special guests.
Jean-Claude Poissant is here with us.
Welcome, sir.
