We're back in order and in session.
We're going to continue with our study of Bill C-469, An Act to establish a Canadian Environmental Bill of Rights.
We're welcoming to the table, from Ecojustice Canada, William Amos; from Friends of the Earth Canada, Beatrice Olivastri; and from MiningWatch Canada, Jamie Kneen. By video conference, we have, from the Canadian Environmental Law Association, Theresa McClenaghan, the executive director and counsel, and as well, from the Canadian Maritime Law Association, John O'Connor.
I'm going to ask all of you to keep your opening remarks to 10 minutes or less, and that will provide us with enough time for committee members to ask our witnesses questions.
We're going to kick it off with you, Mr. Amos.
