Good morning, everyone.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and our study on the state of the Pacific salmon, today we have departmental officials here to talk about that issue. I believe Big Bar is part of it.
We have with us, Jen O'Donoughue, assistant deputy minister and chief financial officer; Ms. Rebecca Reid, regional director general, Pacific region; and Andrew Thomson, regional director, fisheries management.
I know that some of you have been here before committee many times. Welcome.
Ms. Reid, I believe you're giving the opening remarks, for 10 minutes or less, please.
