I think we can begin, and our other guests will join us.
I would like to welcome our panel today.
We're taking a look at the precautionary principle as it relates to our CEPA review. I would propose that we begin. We would ask our guests to give us no more than a ten-minute presentation of your views, then we will go to a round of questions—and as many rounds as we need to bring out the issue.
Our intention—and we have our Library of Parliament person, who takes diligent notes—is that at the end of this process we will come up with a proposal relating what our recommendations to the government on a CEPA review will be.
We'll start with the Canadian Environmental Law Association. Mr. Benevides, please.
