The usual in camera procedures will apply, but, for the moment, we are in a public meeting and we will be as well after we have heard the audio recording.
That point being clarified, I thank committee members for their sensitivity to the individuals involved in this ordeal.
This morning, we have Michelle d'Auray, Deputy Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Canada. She is accompanied by Mr. George Da Pont, Commissioner of the Canadian Coast Guard, and Lieutenant General Marc Dumais, Commander, Canada Command. Without further ado, let's begin the hearing of the witnesses.
Ms. d'Auray, welcome to the committee.
