I'll call the meeting to order.
This is the 37th meeting of the parliamentary Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development.
I welcome the witnesses who are with us today as we continue our study on the creation of a national conservation plan.
There are 12 members on the committee, and five of us around the table today. We are looking forward to hearing from the witnesses. Each witness has up to 10 minutes, but you don't have to take the full 10 minutes, which will be followed by questions.
I will hand it over to the witnesses, beginning with the Alberta Grazing Leaseholders Association. Mr. Sears, you have 10 minutes.
