Good morning, everyone. I now call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 12 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) the committee is studying the subject matter of supplementary estimates (C) 2021-22, votes 1c, 5c and 10c, under the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. The committee will also resume its study of the traceability of fish and seafood products in its second panel today.
This meeting is taking place in a hybrid format pursuant to the House order of November 25, 2021.
Interpretation services are available for this meeting. Please inform me immediately if interpretation is lost and we will ensure it is restored before resuming. The “raise hand” feature at the bottom of the screen can be used at any time if you wish to speak or to alert the chair. Please wait until I recognize you by name before speaking and speak slowly and clearly. When you are not speaking, your microphone should be on mute. All comments by members and witnesses should be addressed through the chair. I will remind all participants that screenshots or taking photos of your screen is not permitted.
Our guests for the first hour will be the Honourable Joyce Murray, Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, and her officials. I'm not going to introduce all of her officials. We can see their names, and if anybody has questions—
Yes, Madame Desbiens?
