Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First of all, I want to thank the witnesses for coming forward and giving their presentations.
Once again, I would like to state, Mr. Chair, that some of our members of our committee are not present because they're debating Bill C-30. I hope to go back to the House as well to speak on it. But that's the situation we're facing at this very moment, because there was also legislation that was tabled by the government with respect to the Clean Air Act.
I am interested in hearing further from the witnesses, and maybe even from the government staff, on the benefits of the ministers' conferences and how they are in fact able to get to Canada-wide standards. How are they moving forward, and have they been working as of late?
