I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 67 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted on June 20, 2022, the committee is resuming its study of foreign ownership and corporate concentration of fishing licences and quotas. This meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the House order of June 23, 2022.
Before we proceed, I'd like to remind everyone to address all comments through the chair.
I would like to welcome our first panel of witnesses.
Representing Ecotrust Canada, we have Tasha Sutcliffe, senior policy adviser in the fisheries program. Representing the United Fishermen and Allied Workers' Union, we have Kyle Louis, vice-president, and Emily Orr, business agent.
Thank you for taking the time to appear today. Each group will have up to five minutes for an opening statement.
I will invite Ms. Sutcliffe to begin, please.
