Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
We're quite pleased to be here today to present the amendments to Bill C-7.
We have circulated a deck that provides an explanation of the bill. So this is a technical briefing from officials.
I have with me experts in the field in case there are any questions: Jerry Rysanek is a director of international marine policy at Transport; Mark Gauthier is general counsel, a specialist in marine law; and Donald Roussel is the director general of marine safety.
We are in your hands in terms of the session, and I'll turn right away to Jerry to make the presentation of the deck.
We would welcome any questions you have on Bill C-7. Thank you.
