Fisheries committee  Respond in a minute or less, please.

Fisheries committee  We'll lose it at the other end. Okay.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Tutty. Thank you, Mr. Donnelly. We'll now return to the Liberal side for seven minutes. Mr. Hardie.

Fisheries committee  It's your time.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Arnold. Your time is up, so Mr. Calkins will not take any time right now. We'll move on now to the NDP. Mr. Donnelly, you have seven minutes or less, please.

Fisheries committee  Now we'll move to the Conservative side, to Mr. Doherty, who'll share his time with Mr. Arnold, who'll share his time with Mr. Calkins. I'll leave it up to you how you're going to share it.

Fisheries committee  Excuse me, Ms. Schmitt, but you've exhausted the seven minutes allowed. I suggest that any recommendations that don't come out in the questions be submitted in writing to the committee to be entered as evidence for us to consider. I'll start now with the rounds of questioning. The first question goes of course to the Liberal side.

Fisheries committee  Excuse me, Ms. Schmitt. Could you slow down a tiny bit? The interpreters are having trouble translating into French as you're speaking. They have the same problem with me at times, my being from Newfoundland, but I'm used to it. They'd appreciate it. Thank you.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, gentlemen. We will now go to the Omega Pacific Hatchery Inc. Ms. Schmitt and Mr. Tutty, can you hear us?

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. MacLean. Being from Newfoundland, it's encouraging to know you're an owner-operator. I support that wholeheartedly. We now have representatives from the Sport Fishing Institute of British Columbia. You're going to split your time. You have seven minutes between you, when you're ready.

Fisheries committee  Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome back to committee members who were here earlier in the day as well for a session. Pursuant to order of reference of Wednesday, June 6, 2018, we are undertaking a study on the situation of endangered whales, M-154. Joining us this afternoon for this particular session we have Area 19 Snow Crab Fishermen's Association, represented by the president, Basil MacLean.

Fisheries committee  Thank you. I want to once again thank our witnesses today for appearing by both video conference and teleconference. That's the first time we've had a committee meeting with witnesses where nobody was actually in the room other than committee members. Thank you for your input and patience.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Doherty. Go ahead, Mr. Donnelly, for three minutes.

Fisheries committee  Your time is up. That concludes two rounds of questioning. I think we have time to do one three-minute round for each party, if that would be acceptable. We'll go to the Liberal side. Who's going to go for the first three minutes? Don't take too long to decide, please. Mr. Morrissey, you have three minutes.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Morrissey. Now we'll go to the Conservative side and Mr. Doherty.
