Fisheries committee  All right. When you're ready, you'll have seven minutes or less.

Fisheries committee  I call the meeting to order. Good afternoon, everyone. Pursuant to the standing order reference of Wednesday, May 1, 2019, we are considering Bill S-238, An Act to amend the Fisheries Act and the Wild Animal and Plant Protection and Regulation of International and Interprovincial Trade Act (importation and exportation of shark fins).

Fisheries committee  Thank you, Mr. Johns, and thank you to Ms. Lamondin for being here this afternoon. That concludes our session today. Again, thank you one and all. The meeting is adjourned.

Fisheries committee  Mr. Arnold, you have three minutes.

Fisheries committee  Now we'll go to Mr. Johns for seven minutes or less, please.

Fisheries committee  Go ahead.

Fisheries committee  Now to the government side, we have Mr. Calkins for seven minutes or less.

Fisheries committee  I'm just teasing you.

Fisheries committee  Now we'll go to the government side and Mr. Hardie, for seven minutes or less, please.

Fisheries committee  All right, we'll start again. Next up for presentation is the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. We are joined by Lyzette Lamondin, the executive director of the food safety and consumer protection directorate, policy and programs. Now that's a title and a half. Whenever you're ready, you can start with your opening statement, for seven minutes or less, please.

Fisheries committee  There are a couple of minutes left. I have a question I'd like to ask. You were talking about traceability and knowing which fish is in it. In Newfoundland and Labrador, we get processors—I have one company, Ocean Choice International, for example, in my riding, and Mr. Rogers has Icewater Seafoods Inc.

Fisheries committee  I'm just glad to know that the companies that operate locally in my riding are doing this—

Fisheries committee  —to a higher level of confidence.

Fisheries committee  Thank you to our three witnesses. It's been an informative half hour or so. When this was first put forward for study by Mr. Morrissey, I was thinking it was going to be a bit on the boring side, but it's not. It's great information that you're providing, and something that I think most of us didn't realize was happening, especially with the illegitimate valuing of something that's $95 a pound when there's a $20 per pound product in the package.

Fisheries committee  Ask quickly, please.
