I call the meeting to order.
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.
Joining us today as witnesses we have Mr. Jamie Fox, former minister of fisheries and communities for the Province of Prince Edward Island.
We also have Mr. Ian MacPherson, executive director of the Prince Edward Island Fishermen's Association, who is quite familiar with committee here.
Welcome to you both. You each have up to five minutes for your opening statements.
We will start with Mr. Fox for five minutes or less, please.
