Thank you very much.
We have with us today for our first panel, from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Sylvain Vézina, regional director general, Quebec region, by video conference; Adwaite Tiwary, director, trade and market policy; and Todd Williams, acting director general, fisheries resource management.
Following that, we will have, from the Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food, Michelle Cooper, director general, market access secretariat.
Welcome to you all. You understand how these processes work, so we've started our meeting so that we can hear from all of you. We will, at the appropriate time, suspend for the vote and then resume again following the vote, with approval from the committee members.
Mr. Tiwary, I invite you to make an opening statement of up to five minutes, please.
