We have a couple by video conference and one in person. By video conference we have Marian Weber, Professor, Department of Resource Economics and Environmental Sociology, University of Alberta.

Fisheries committee  We're way over time. Mr. Johns, you have three minutes or less, please.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Johns. That concludes our testimony and the questioning of our witnesses. I want to say thank you to our witnesses and at the same time apologize for the late start due to votes, but that's part of what we do here. It's unavoidable at times. We're going to suspend now for a minute just to get disconnected and go in camera for a couple of minutes of committee business and to get a couple of budgets approved.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Finnigan. We'll go now to Mr. Calkins for three minutes or less, please.

Fisheries committee  Thank you for that. Our witnesses are probably limited on time. I don't know if you have 10 minutes more. If so, we could do a three-minute round. I see people nodding their heads. Okay. I'll be strict on the time. We'll go with Mr. Finnigan for three minutes or less, please.

Fisheries committee  Thank you. Now we'll go to Mr. Johns for seven minutes or less, please.
