Item 2 is two evidence sessions on the draft joint fisheries statement. First, we will take evidence from stakeholders, and that will be followed by a session with the Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs and Islands and Scottish Government officials.
I welcome our panel of stakeholders, who are attending remotely. Professor James Harrison is from the University of Edinburgh; Elspeth Macdonald is chief executive officer of the Scottish Fishermen’s Federation; Helen McLachlan is from the future fisheries alliance; Charles Millar is executive director of the Sustainable Inshore Fisheries Trust; and Elaine Whyte is from the Communities Inshore Fisheries Alliance.
Will the stakeholders elaborate on their view that the draft joint fisheries statement lacks ambition in setting out a new post-European Union fisheries framework for the United Kingdom? We will start with Professor Harrison, please.

For our second evidence-taking session, I welcome to the meeting Mairi Gougeon, who is the Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs and Islands. I also welcome, from the sea fisheries division of Marine Scotland, Allan Gibb, who is acting deputy director, and Paul McCarthy, who is policy manager for funding and strategy.
Before I invite the cabinet secretary to make a brief opening statement, I remind members that Parliament will be observing s silence for the national day of reflection at 12 noon. I therefore aim to conclude this evidence session just before 12.
Cabinet secretary, please make your opening statement.
