Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank all our witnesses for being here.
It is always interesting to see that it is possible for companies to make efforts to protect the planet, to fight against climate change and, at the same time, to continue to make a profit. We need to find a balance between resource development and sustainable development. We have some very concrete examples today.
I would first like to direct my questions to the representatives from the Canadian Electricity Association, Mr. Burpee and Mr. Gibson.
You talked a great deal about projects, education programs, research programs and on-the-ground monitoring programs that are effective. Thanks to those programs, you get tangible results in terms of habitat protection. It is important to explore some concepts to understand that conservation involves human intervention. Could you tell us about the usefulness of these measures, these education and research initiatives, and the conservation results you have obtained?
