Good afternoon, Mr. Chair, ladies and gentlemen members of the committee.
Thank you for having us. We appreciate this opportunity to appear before you today. You have the summary of our brief. That brief will be submitted to you and translated soon.
We represent the Conseil régional de l'environnement du Centre-du-Québec, a non-profit consulting body, whose goal is to promote environmental protection and improvement through sustainable development.
I am also joined by John Husk, City Councillor for the City of Drummondville, who will begin our presentation.
