Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to the witnesses for taking part in our study here.

My first question, Mr. Chair, is to Mr. Spingle.

Mr. Spingle, you know I was an independent inshore fisherman myself. I was an owner-operator, like a lot of the folks you represent. Can you paint a picture of what's going on right now in the 4R fleet that you represent?
