Thank you, Chair, and once again congratulations. It's good to see you in person. It's been virtually for so many months. It's good to be back, isn't it?
This is my notice of motion: That the committee undertake a study to examine the scope and effects of illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing (IUU) on Canada's fisheries resources and the degradation of those resources by illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing;
That the committee receive witness testimony from the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, the Minister of National Defence, officials from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the Department of National Defence, and Canadians impacted by IUU fishing;
That the committee allot no fewer than eight two-hour meetings to receive said testimony;
That the committee also accept written briefs from individuals or organizations who wish to submit input; and
That the committee submit its findings with recommendations in a report to the House.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
