Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister, for appearing.

I'd like to begin by addressing some questions to you, Mr. Goodyear. I'm limited by time, so I'd ask that you respect my questions with some brevity.

On December 2 you told this committee that the Great Lakes Fishery Commission's 2023 budget had been set. In fact, the transcript shows that you said, “The budget for GLFC has been based on the negotiation between the two nations and is set, of course, with the inclusion of the commission.”

Is this a correct characterization of your testimony to this committee, yes or no?
