As you said, Mr. Chair, I'm pleased to return today to discuss the 2013-14 report on the plans and priorities for Environment Canada, for Parks Canada, and for the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency. Joining me at the table are Bob Hamilton, the deputy minister of Environment Canada; Alan Latourelle, CEO of Parks Canada; and Yves Leboeuf, acting president of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency, until the recently appointed president, Ron Hallman, is installed at CEAA.
Just momentarily on the subject of appointments, we were discussing at the last meeting the federal sustainable development strategy appointments to the International Joint Commission. If you haven't been advised, the two vacancies have now been filled. The two commissioners are Benoît Bouchard and Gordon Walker. It's up on the appointments website.
