Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you all for providing us with very concrete information today.
I will start with the representatives from Ducks Unlimited Canada, but I am not sure who exactly to direct my questions to.
I was astonished and pleasantly surprised to see that, on pages 7 and 23, you talked at length about economic benefits from tourism, investments made by Ducks Unlimited, as well as simple economic spinoffs spread over a four-year period. You talked about $77.1 million in GDP, the equivalent of almost 1,000 full-time jobs.
We do not hear about those benefits often. When we talk about conserving the environment, a number of people are afraid that investing in this sector will cost the economy money. In fact, you are creating jobs and economic activity.
Could you elaborate on those spinoffs?
