I now call the meeting back to order.
I would just like to make a few comments for our next slot of witnesses. When you are ready to speak, click on the microphone icon to activate your microphone. When you are not speaking, your microphone should be on mute. When speaking, please speak slowly and clearly.
I would like to welcome our second panel of witnesses.
From the Maritime Fishermen's Union, we have Mr. Martin Mallet, executive director; from Regroupement des pêcheurs professionnels du Sud de la Gaspésie, Claire Canet, project officer; and from the Unified Fisheries Conservation Alliance, Colin Sproul, president.
We will now hear opening remarks from Mr. Mallet for five minutes or less, please.
