Fisheries committee  Thank you. We'll now go to Mr. Bech from the Steelhead Society of BC, for seven minutes or less, please.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Ms. Reid. We'll now go to Mr. Bison for seven minutes or less, please.

Fisheries committee  Good afternoon, everyone. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we have a briefing on steelhead salmon in the Fraser River. I apologize to our witnesses, who have been waiting patiently by video conference to join us for testimony today. Unfortunately, we had a bunch of votes, which we have no control over, but we wanted to make sure we had a chance to at least hear from our witnesses this afternoon.

Fisheries committee  Thank you. We'll now go to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. I'm not sure if you're sharing your time, but either Rebecca or Andrew, when you're ready, go ahead for seven minutes or less, please.

Fisheries committee  Good afternoon, everyone. Pursuant to the order of reference of Wednesday, May 1, 2019, Bill S-238, an act to amend the Fisheries Act and the Wild Animal and Plant Protection and Regulation of International and Interprovincial Trade Act (importation and exportation of shark fins), with regard to clause-by-clause consideration, there was nothing changed.

Fisheries committee  Shall the preamble carry?

Fisheries committee  Shall the title carry?

Fisheries committee  Shall the bill carry?

Fisheries committee  Shall the chair report the bill to the House?

Fisheries committee  That was short and sweet. Now we'll suspend for a minute to go in camera. [Proceedings continue in camera]

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Donnelly. I will say thank you to our witnesses for appearing. That concludes our hour of testimony and questioning. Thank you again to the department officials for being here today. It's great to see such co-operation on such short notice. Hopefully, we'll see you all back sometime soon.

Fisheries committee  You have five minutes or less.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Hardie. Now, for three minutes or less, we have Mr. Donnelly.

Fisheries committee  It's only your time that expires in three minutes, not you.

Fisheries committee  Okay, you've heard the motion. Do you have copies for everybody, Mr. Calkins?
