Thank you, Mr. Cullen.
Once we finish Bill C-474--which we're all hoping will happen in a rapid manner on Monday--we'll be going to Bill C-469, from Monsieur Guy André. He's been invited to appear before the committee on Monday.
That will be immediately after the study of Bill C-474. Normally we allow the member introducing the bill to make a 10-minute presentation, followed by a question period of about 30 minutes.
That is the approach we would propose to take on Monday. Of course, by then you'll have the regular chairman. Mr. Mills will be back from Russia and be in the chair, and I'm sure you'll all look forward to that.
This is a meeting pursuant to Standing Order 81(4) to consider the main estimates for the Department of the Environment, as well as for the Parks Canada Agency, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, and the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy. In that regard, I am pleased to welcome, from the Department of the Environment, Ian Shugart, the associate deputy minister.
Perhaps, Mr. Shugart, you would be prepared to introduce the people who are here with you.
