Thank you, Ms. Blais and Ms. St-Denis.
We welcome our witnesses from the Conseil régional de l'environnement de Laval, Mr. Guy Garand and Madame Marie-Christine Bellemare. Welcome. I'm sorry you had some traffic issues, but we're glad you were able to arrive and appear before the committee.
All of the committee members have a PowerPoint presentation.
I'm going to give our witnesses a 10-minute opening statement. Because of where we are in the rotation of questions, I'm going to use the chairman's prerogative and say that after their presentation we're going to move into another seven-minute round. I'm going to name the committee members who have already requested to be on the list. If any party wants to change that sequence, it's up to you.
I have on the list Madame Quach, Mr. Lunney, Monsieur Pilon, and Madame Rempel. Those will be our four questioners following the presentation. If any of the committee wants to change those, you can let me know while the presentation is proceeding.
I welcome Mr. Guy Garand to start the presentation.
