Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd also like to extend a warm welcome to our guests and visitors in our audience today.
Mr. Chair, on behalf of the entire committee, I'd like to extend our deepest condolences to the family of the individual who was lost at sea on the Coast Guard ship, the Vincent Massey, which docked in St. John's recently. Our deepest condolences to the family and to all who loved that dear individual who served his community.
On behalf of the committee, I'd like to thank everyone who was involved in the search and rescue effort.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My first question is this: According to Transport Canada's departmental results report in 2022 and 2023, Transport Canada, Fisheries and Oceans, and the Canadian Coast Guard aimed to remove 110 vessels of concern by March 31, 2023. What was the percentage of the desired removals that actually got removed in the 2023 fiscal year?
Mr. Henein.
