Continuing with our next panel of witnesses, we are welcoming to the table Dr. Stewart Elgie, who is a professor in the Faculty of Law at the University of Ottawa. He's also the associate director of the Institute of the Environment. Joining us by video conference all the way from Vancouver, B.C., is Dr. David Boyd, adjunct professor at the School of Resource and Environmental Management at Simon Fraser University.
I will ask that both witnesses keep their opening comments to 10 minutes or less, and then we can have some time for discussion from our committee members.
Dr. Boyd, could you kick us off, please?
