Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Cloutier. We'll go now to our next presenter, Margot Venton from Ecojustice Canada. When you're ready, go ahead for seven minutes or less, please.

Fisheries committee  We'll reconvene and get started. Before we move on, I neglected to mention the presence of Ms. Kelly Block here today, who is substituting in for one of the Conservative members, Mr. Doherty. Welcome, it's good to see you here. There is Jean Yip, as well, on the Liberal side, who is substituting in for Mr.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Donnelly. Thank you to our witnesses who appeared both in person today and on video conference. As we mentioned, anything that you don't think was heard from you at this session, by all means, please make sure you submit it in writing to the committee, and it will be taken into account for our recommendations.

Fisheries committee  Thank you. We'll suspend for a moment, just to change witnesses.

Fisheries committee  Thank you. Now we go to Mr. Donnelly for the remaining time, please.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Hardie. Now to the Conservative side, Mr. Arnold, please, for seven minutes or less.

Fisheries committee  The seven minutes are up, Ms. Ryan. We have actually gone over quite a bit. I would hope that anything you didn't have to say in your opening statement will come out in the line of questioning. With that, we will go first to the government side. Mr. Hardie, you have seven minutes or less, please.

Fisheries committee  No, go ahead.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, gentlemen. We'll now go to Ms. Ryan for seven minutes or less, please.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Harris. Anything that you feel you didn't have a chance to say, hopefully in the rounds of questioning, you'll be able to add at that time. Next up, from the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, we have Mr. George and Mr. Taft. I don't know if only one of you is speaking or if you're splitting your time, but either way, whenever you're ready, you're good for seven minutes or less, please.

Fisheries committee  Good morning, everyone. Pursuant to order of reference of Wednesday, June 6, 2018, this is a study on the situation of endangered whales, motion M-154. I'll start off by apologizing to our witnesses who have been here waiting. We had an unexpected vote which delayed us. With the permission of the committee, what I would like to do, instead of losing a full half-hour to the first group, is shave 15 minutes off each one.

Fisheries committee  Perfect. First of all, I'd like to welcome our witnesses for today. Mr. Ray Harris, Co-Chair of the First Nations Summit, is here in person. By video conference, from the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, we have Gabriel George, Manager of Culture and Language; and Spencer Taft, Project Manager, Cumulative Effects.

Fisheries committee  That pretty well ends our time. I want to thank the witnesses who are both here in person and by video conference for your input today. If you think there was anything missed or not caught in your testimony, by all means please make sure to submit it in writing so we can include it.

Fisheries committee  We're done.

Fisheries committee  The meeting is adjourned.
