Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for appearing today.
I want to start with Delta Farmland & Wildlife Trust. Mr. Bradbeer, I find your story about what has occurred in the Delta region quite intriguing. I'd like to just ask some questions about the program, the establishment of the program, the individual programs, and the stewardship program.
Who initially writes those programs? Is that a collaborative effort between the farmers and a stewardship group? Or is it written first by a stewardship group, and then the farmers sign on to it? Can you kind of take us through the process of how that's working?
