Thank you, Mr. Chair, and good afternoon to each of the witnesses.
I'll concentrate my remarks primarily on DFO and the coast guard. I want to put on the record a statement on page 10 of the submission by Mr. Burden. He indicated, “The Government has made every effort to counter the misinformation upon which anti-sealing campaigns are based”. I don't want to get into an argument, but that certainly flies in the face of the response I received to an order paper question I placed and the information relayed to me from DFO. I just want to make that statement. They can refute me at another time, but it certainly didn't jibe.
On Pangnirtung itself, what is the completion date for that harbour?
