Fisheries committee  We noticed. Is there any other discussion on the motion? All those in favour—

Fisheries committee  Is everyone ready to vote? (Motion agreed to) That is carried unanimously. Thank you. On Mr. Finnigan's comment, I would ask that when introducing a motion in the future, people be respectful to have it in both official languages for the members of the committee. Even though I know it's not required, it would be appreciated if everyone could do that.

Fisheries committee  We'll continue on with your questioning. You have just over four minutes.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Finnigan. Now we'll go the Conservative side and Mr. Arnold for seven minutes.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Barrett-Lennard. Before we get into the questions, I will remind everyone, if you're asking a question to a specific presenter, to please identify who you're asking it to. To the presenters on video conference, if the question is not directed to you per se and you have a comment you'd like to make, just wave or put up your hand.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Michaud. Last, we'll go to Lance Barrett-Lennard, who is joining us by teleconference from the Coastal Ocean Research Institute.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Ms. Brown. Next we'll go to Robert Michaud, scientific director, Research and Education Group on Marine Mammals. Go ahead when you're ready, sir.

Fisheries committee  Thank you. Next we'll have Moira Brown, a senior scientist with the Canadian Whale Institute.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Ms. Wilhelmson. Now we'll go to Mr. David Bain from the Orca Conservancy. Witnesses, when we get close to the end, maybe to the two-minute mark, I'll hold up two fingers to give an indication that you have about two minutes left. Thank you. Go ahead when you're ready.

Fisheries committee  I call the meeting to order. Good morning, everyone. Pursuant to the order of reference of Wednesday, June 6, 2018, we are studying the situation of endangered whales, or as we know it, Motion No. 154. Go ahead, Mr. Doherty.

Fisheries committee  Thanks for that, Mr. Doherty. I have been speaking to the owner of the fish plant, Mr. John Hickey, several times. Up to midday Sunday, there was still some smouldering and whatnot going on at the site. It's totally destroyed. The insurance people and fire inspectors have been up to look at it.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Cannings. A special thank you to our guests who appeared before committee today, both in person and by video conference. The clock is now actually past 5:30. The meeting is adjourned.

Fisheries committee  You have two minutes.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Doherty. Now we'll go to Mr. Cannings from the NDP for the remainder of the time.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Allen. I apologize for cutting you off but I'm trying to give each party a chance to ask some questions. We'll move over to the Conservative Party and Mr. Doherty.
