Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much, Dr. Johnson. It's good to see you again. It's been a long time.
Thank you very much, Mr. Morton, for joining us on the telephone. It's very kind of you to be available.
I'd like to go to both of you, because you're both extremely experienced Canadians who have been participating in these issues for some time.
You've been participating, in your case, Mr. Johnson, I know, in international negotiations for probably two decades.
Mr. Morton, I don't know if we've crossed paths before, but I think I recall you from Pollution Probe.
Can I ask you first whether you recall a time since 1992, when so much of the foundational work was laid in Rio de Janeiro, when opposition critics were not invited to participate in the official delegation of Canada to the Conference of the Parties meetings?
