Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I'd like to start by congratulating Mr. Thériault for his 50 years in the fishing industry. That's amazing.

That's excellent.

It's good to be here with you all today. Thank you to the witnesses who've shared.

I have some questions and I'll try to move through them as quickly as possible. I'll open it up. Maybe I'll address this first one to the 50-year gentleman, Mr. Thériault.

How important is exporting your catch to the U.S., at this particular time? How would your industry be impacted if you weren't able to sell to that market?
