Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I'd certainly like to welcome our guests.
First of all, to Mr. Delbeke, recent polling here in Canada has placed the environment at the top of the concerns of Canadians. Under that environmental umbrella, two main priorities are air quality and human health. I've seen efforts put forward in the EU--in 2001, the clean air for Europe, the CAFE program, and in 2005, thematic strategies on air pollution--and I wonder if you could tell us how these programs complemented your efforts to reduce GHG emissions in the EU.
