Thank you for that. You had seven seconds to spare, and it's abnormal for anyone to give an opening statement in less than five minutes. I want to thank you for that.
Before I go to our first round of questioning, I want to welcome Mr. Godin, who is subbing in for somebody. I don't know who.
It's good to have Blaine Calkins back again, sitting in for somebody. He's quite familiar with the fisheries and oceans committee as he served on it for a number of years.
Of course, we have Dr. Hanley, who is subbing in for Patrick Weiler, I believe. Mr. Hanley is a regular member, but he's been moved to another committee and Mr. Weiler will be the new member. He gets to fill him in for him now for the first time—the first day.
We'll now to go our rounds of questioning.
Mr. Small.
