Fisheries committee  Thank you. Before I start the questioning round, I would like to welcome a couple of members to the committee today.

For this meeting this evening, we have witnesses from Fisheries and Oceans Canada. We have Philippe Morel, Assistant Deputy Minister; we have Adam Burns, Acting Assistant Deputy Minister; and by video conference, we have Patrick Vincent, Regional Director General.

Fisheries committee  Mr. MacPherson, I'll allow a very brief answer, if you have one.

Fisheries committee  I'll close off by saying thank you to our witnesses. If you have a written submission that you can send with your recommendations attached, we'd certainly be open to having that to include in our final discussions. Is the committee in agreement to extend the time?
