We're back.
I have a few comments for the benefit of our new witnesses.
Please wait until I recognize you by name before speaking. For those participating by video conference, click on the microphone icon to activate your mike, and please mute yourself when you are not speaking.
For interpretation for those on Zoom, you have the choice at the bottom of your screen of either floor, English or French. Those in the room can use the earpiece and select the desired channel.
All comments should be addressed through the chair.
Finally, I remind you that the use of a House-approved headset is mandatory for all virtual participants in parliamentary proceedings.
I would now like to welcome our next set of witnesses.
Representing Ár n-oileán Resources Ltd., we have Mr. Kendal Flood, chief executive officer. Representing the Halifax East Fisheries Association by video conference is Mr. Christopher Jones, director. We have Madame Stéphanie Pieddesaux, industrial researcher, by video conference, representing Merinov.
Thank you for taking the time to appear today. We have five minutes for opening statements. We'll start off with Mr. Jones, please.
