Thank you very much, Terry.
In conclusion, as Terry mentioned, CEA has long worked well with DFO to ensure the protection of fish and fish habitat on behalf of all Canadians.
We trust you will find today's presentation, and our fuller submission that will follow next week, useful as you finalize Bill C-68. We also hope you will give serious consideration to the proposed amendments we suggested this morning.
We look forward to continuing to work not only with DFO but also with this parliamentary committee to develop policy, regulations, and codes of practice that will have practical and effective application while protecting Canada's fisheries into the future.
Thank you very much for your attention. We're happy to answer any questions members may have.
