Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to Mr. Firth.
I know you weren't necessarily here to hear some of the concerns expressed about the bill. I was following this through Hansard: essentially, the existence of the bill, some of the rights for the environment, would be a direct affront to our ability to nourish the economy and generate jobs and so on. I don't, on the face of it, accept that argument. I think environmental protection actually can be reconciled. But I want to know, from the standpoint of your members and so on, whether you have considered those kinds of arguments and what you might say to that. I won't try to articulate exactly what was said, but I think you probably get the gist of people being concerned that this creates a disincentive compared to other jurisdictions, that kind of thing. I'm wondering how your organization has assessed those kinds of concerns.
