I now call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 45 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans. This meeting is taking place in a hybrid format pursuant to the House order of June 23, 2022.
Before we proceed, I would like to make a few comments for the benefit of witnesses and members.

In accordance with the committee's routine motion concerning connection tests for witnesses, I inform the committee that all witnesses have completed the required connection tests in advance of the meeting. One witness hasn't joined yet and that test will be done if they do join.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted on October 4, 2022, the committee is resuming its study of the impacts of climate change.
I would like to welcome our first panel of witnesses. Representing the Fish, Food and Allied Workers—Unifor, we have Sherry Glynn, the inshore representative. Representing the Prince Edward Island Aquaculture Alliance is Mr. Peter Warris, director of projects and industry liaison.
Thank you for taking the time to appear today. You will each have up to five minutes for an opening statement.
I invite Ms. Glynn to begin, please.
