I think we've had adequate discussion regarding this point.
For the benefit of the witnesses and my colleagues in the committee, this is what was provided to the witnesses and will guide the principles of our questioning today:
The scope of the study is as follows, with witnesses and interested parties being asked to comment on or provide briefs, regarding the following potential elements of an NCP:
1) What should be the purpose of a NCP?
2) What should be the goals of a NCP?
3) What guiding principles should govern a NCP?
4) What conservation priorities should be included in a NCP?
5) What should be the implementation priorities of a NCP?
6) What consultation process should the Minister consider using when developing a NCP?
With those being the guiding principles of the meeting today, I would encourage the questioning to be such and would remind each member to make sure their questioning of the witnesses is in that scope.
Carry on, Ms. Liu.
