Are there other comments? Discussion?
(Motion as amended agreed to)
Okay. We're going to continue on with our agenda.
We're going to welcome to the table the Species at Risk Advisory Committee, as we continue on in our study of the Species at Risk Act and the statutory review of the legislation. We have joining us, Patrick McGuinness from the Fisheries Council of Canada, Julie Gelfand from the Mining Association of Canada, Rachel Plotkin from the David Suzuki Foundation, and Sarah Wren from Nature Canada.
Welcome all.
Who else do I have here? Lorra Thompson. I guess she's not with them.
Anyway, I'll turn it over to you, Ms. Gelfand, if you can bring your opening comments.
