Thank you, sir. You represent a very large group of fishers, men and women who work on or near the water. I commend you for the work you're doing.
You asked who's on our committee. I'll introduce some of our members. Our members come from all over the country. We have Mr. Dhaliwal from British Columbia and Mr. Ritz and Mr. Hoback from Saskatchewan. From southwestern Ontario, we have Mr. Van Kesteren and Ms. Ramsey. From the Toronto area, we have Mr. Peterson and Mr. Fonseca. We have Madam Lapointe from Quebec and Ms. Ludwig from the Maritimes. I'm from Cape Breton, and you represent many people from my area, too.
Anyway, we're going to open it up to dialogue with MPs. I'd like to get through most of the MPs, so please keep it brief.
We're going to start off with the Conservatives. Mr. Ritz, you have the floor.
