I think it's just a statement of truth. I don't think Mr. Albrecht would fight me on this.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4072377\" data-originallang=\"en\">Welcome to our witnesses. Thank you very much for being here today.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4072378\" data-originallang=\"en\">My name is Megan Leslie. I'm the MP for Halifax and the vice-chair of this committee. As you know, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we're doing a study on licensed hunting and trapping in Canada. So we welcome you all.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4072379\" data-originallang=\"en\">There will be questions in French and English. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4072380\" data-originallang=\"en\">With us today, from North American Fur Auctions, we have Robert Cahill. Welcome. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4072381\" data-originallang=\"en\">We have three witnesses with us here in Ottawa from the Fur Institute of Canada: Gregory Thompson and Jim Gibb, and joining us by video conference, Dion Dakins. Welcome. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4072382\" data-originallang=\"en\">Coming to us via video from Richmond Hill, we have Nancy Daigneault from the International Fur Federation, and we're also joined by Michael Howie from The Association for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Animals. Welcome to all of you.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4072383\" data-originallang=\"en\">We'll begin with 10-minute presentations from each group. I believe the members from the Fur Institute will be sharing their time.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4072384\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Cahill, we'll start with you. You have 10 minutes.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4072375\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vous souhaite \u00e0 tous la bienvenue \u00e0 la s\u00e9ance n<sup>o</sup> 51 du Comit\u00e9 permanent de l'environnement et du d\u00e9veloppement durable. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4072376\" data-originallang=\"en\">Vous constaterez que la personne qui occupe le fauteuil s'est consid\u00e9rablement embellie depuis la derni\u00e8re r\u00e9union. Il s'agit d'une simple constatation de fait. Je ne pense pas que M. Albrecht serait en d\u00e9saccord avec moi l\u00e0-dessus. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4072377\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je souhaite la bienvenue aux t\u00e9moins et les remercie d'\u00eatre ici aujourd'hui. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4072378\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je m'appelle Megan Leslie. Je suis d\u00e9put\u00e9e de Halifax et vice-pr\u00e9sidente du comit\u00e9. Comme vous le savez, conform\u00e9ment au paragraphe 108(2) du R\u00e8glement, nous menons une \u00e9tude sur la chasse et le pi\u00e9geage avec permis au Canada. Bienvenue \u00e0 tous. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4072379\" data-originallang=\"en\">Durant la p\u00e9riode de questions, nous entendrons des interventions en fran\u00e7ais et en anglais. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4072380\" data-originallang=\"en\">Robert Cahill, d'Encans de fourrures d'Am\u00e9rique du Nord, est parmi nous aujourd'hui. Bienvenue. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4072381\" data-originallang=\"en\">Trois repr\u00e9sentants de l'Institut de la fourrure du Canada participeront \u00e0 la r\u00e9union qui se tient ici, \u00e0 Ottawa, \u00e0 savoir Gregory Thompson, Jim Gibb et Dion Dakins, lequel t\u00e9moignera par vid\u00e9oconf\u00e9rence. Bienvenue.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4072382\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous entendrons \u00e9galement par vid\u00e9oconf\u00e9rence Nancy Daigneault, de la F\u00e9d\u00e9ration internationale de la fourrure, qui s'adressera \u00e0 nous depuis Richmond Hill, de m\u00eame que Michael Howie, de l'Association for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Animals.

Je crois que les repr\u00e9sentants de l'Institut de la fourrure se partageront le temps dont ils disposent. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4072384\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur Cahill, \u00e0 vous d'ouvrir le bal. Vous avez 10 minutes. </p>"
