Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will be sharing my ten minutes with Mr. Harvey, so could you let me know when I'm at five minutes, please?
I appreciate the witnesses. I think we've already heard some good dialogue, some good debate. My focus is going to be on the timeframes.
Mr. Khatter, I appreciate what you've provided to the committee in your recommendations. One critique is that having a briefing note along with this and receiving it before the weekend to have a chance to read it and prepare would have been helpful. But I appreciate your recommendations and the debate they've evoked.
I'd like to ask some questions of the Canadian Lung Association. First of all, I appreciate your being here on the Hill. You've met with many of the members of Parliament. You've shared with us your passion and the urgency of dealing with the health aspects of our environment. We agree that there are six million Canadians dealing with the health effects of poor air quality. They are the very reason we need to see legislative change, to give the government authority to deal appropriately with cleaning the air, to deal with greenhouse gas emissions, and to reduce those too.
In the brief that you provided--I think in the English copy it was on page 7, item 5--you talked about timelines. I haven't heard you make comment yet this morning about timelines. Could I hear your comments on those now, please?
