We'll call this meeting to order. We have quorum.
We are starting a little bit late and we do have votes tonight, so we have to try to stay on schedule as much as possible.
As you know, we're at meeting number 31 of the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development. We're going to study Bill C-469, An Act to establish a Canadian Environmental Bill of Rights, pursuant to the order of reference that we received back on June 16. We're going to do this in three different mini-panels today.
The sponsor of the bill, Ms. Duncan, member of Parliament for Edmonton-Strathcona, will introduce the bill to committee.
Linda, the floor is yours.
