The Chair Liberal Scott Simms

I call this meeting to order.

Good morning, everyone. Before we get to our large grouping of guests this morning, I want to welcome some of our colleagues who are not normally with us but are here this morning to join us for Bill C-55 and our first clause-by-clause, a first for our lovely little committee on fisheries and oceans.

I first want to welcome Ms. Elizabeth May, MP for Saanich—Gulf Islands and also leader of the Green Party.

Thank you for joining us this morning.

Also, from Nunavut, Hunter Tootoo is with us. He is a former fisheries minister.

We have—I don't even have to look at this list to tell you his riding name—all the way from Malpeque, Mr. Wayne Easter.

How are you doing, Wayne?
