Welcome, everyone, to this meeting today of the environment committee.
Welcome, Mr. Hamilton.
As you know, today we are considering the Order-in-Council appointment of Bob Hamilton to the office of Associate Deputy Minister of the Environment, during pleasure. Mr. Hamilton will begin with a brief presentation of two or three minutes, and then we will have two rounds of questions. At the end of the meeting, I would like to discuss two or three routine matters with you.
Welcome, Mr. Hamilton
I would like to remind the committee members that during questioning they must limit their questions to the witness's qualifications and competence to perform the duties of the office in question. They must not go beyond those limits
Mr. Hamilton, you have the floor.
