Thanks very much, Mr. Chair.

I'd like to address my first questions to Ms. Wright.

Ms. Wright, in your deck on pages 7 and 8 you talk about how you do quite a bit of work on cumulative environmental effects. You mention that you have been involved in 12 EA reviews for oil sands projects and five joint panel reviews. You also say that you collaborate with the Cumulative Environmental Management Association.

I want to ask two very quick questions. How much collaboration do you have with CEMA? For example, do you fund it, in part?
