Fisheries committee  It's not that it can be distributed. It was distributed. It wasn't necessary for it to be distributed. The motion was read into the record and translated as it was being read. It's a courtesy of Mr. Arnold's staff who passed it around. We didn't have to get even a printed copy of it when it's dealing with the topic at hand.

Fisheries committee  Is there any discussion on the motion?

Fisheries committee  You don't necessarily have to do that today. I think you could push it down the road. You can move to extend the time at a later date or you can make an amendment now to make it longer. It's either-or.

Fisheries committee  There is, but I think when it's related to the topic at hand, it can be moved without notice. We're going to suspend for a moment and we'll see if we can get a copy in both official languages. We are ready again. Is there any discussion on the motion?

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Hardie. We'll move to the Conservative side. Mr. Sopuck, you have seven minutes.

Fisheries committee  Thank you, and with three and a half minutes to spare, that's what we love to see. It leaves more time for questions. We'll start off, of course, with the government side. Mr. Hardie, you have seven minutes.

Fisheries committee  Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we will have a briefing on the reports of the commissioner of the environment and sustainable development, spring 2018. Before we begin the official part of it, I will welcome some fill-in members. Mr.
