Welcome to meeting number 89 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans.
This meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the Standing Orders.
Before we proceed, I want to remind members to be very careful when handling the earpieces, especially when your microphone or your neighbour's microphone is turned on. Earpieces placed too close to a microphone are one of the most common causes of sound feedback, which is extremely harmful for interpreters and cause serious injuries.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on January 18, 2022, the committee is resuming its study on illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing.
For our first hour, joining us from the Canada Border Services Agency, we have Daniel Anson, director general, intelligence and investigations. Accompanying him, we have Cathy Toxopeus, director general, commercial programs.
Welcome to the committee.
Mr. Anson, you have up to five minutes for your opening statement.
