Good morning, committee members. I'd like to call meeting 73 of the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development to order.
We're pleased to have with us today a number of witnesses, including from Ducks Unlimited Canada, Mr. Greg Siekaniec and Jim Brennan; from the Nature Conservancy of Canada, Mr. John Lounds, Michael Bradstreet, and Lisa McLaughlin; and from the Delta Waterfowl Foundation, Mr. Jonathan Scarth.
We'll proceed in that order. Each group will have a 10-minute opening presentation, followed by questions from committee members.
We'll begin with Ducks Unlimited Canada, please, for 10 minutes.
Mr. Siekaniec, welcome to the committee.
