Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I appreciate the opportunity to be here. These are important issues for those of us from western Canada, and I'm privileged to be able to speak about them.
I had a question for you, Ms. Fairburn. I've got a statement here, and I wonder if you would agree or disagree with this. If someone were to say they believe that the environment and the economy absolutely go hand in hand and we can work on them both together, is this a statement that you would find acceptable and you would welcome?
