Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the whole team that's here.
In light of what we heard at the press conference this morning from the environment commissioner and what we heard today in his brief about contaminated sites, I would like to give notice of motion. I have given a copy to translation so that hopefully they can translate along with me while I read it into the record. It states:
That the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development immediately commence a study regarding the subject matter of the sections of C-38, An Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 29, 2012 and other measures, which directly fall within the mandate of this Committee, namely Part 3, Division 1, Environmental Assessment, Enactment of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012; Part 3, Division 6, Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 1999; Part 3, Division 7, Species at Risk Act; Part 4, Division 9, Parks Canada Agency Act; Part 4, Division 38, Coasting Trade Act; Part 4, Division 40, National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy Act; Part 4, Division 53, Kyoto Protocol Implementation Act.
That's my notice of motion. We'll distribute bilingual copies as soon as we can.
I'd like to hand over the rest of my time to my colleague, Madam Quach.
