I'm calling the meeting to order.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), this is the study of the Navigation Protection Act.
The witnesses today from 8:45 on are the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters and Paddle Canada. I welcome you both.
Our other witness is coming to us by teleconference from British Columbia. She would have been on this panel. I'll suggest that we'll allow the panels to roll forward if there are questions. She's getting up at six in the morning to be able to be with us by teleconference this morning as it is. We'll allow those to continue on, if we have questions on a variety of different ways.
I'll turn it over to Mr. Farrant, manager, government affairs and policy, Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, and for Paddle Canada, we have Jay Morrison, director of the Quebec branch. Gentlemen, thank you very much for coming and contributing to this important study.
