I'd like to call our meeting back to order.
We want to welcome to the table as witnesses: Chris Forbes, the assistant deputy minister of the strategic policy branch and regional directors general offices; Robert McLean, executive director of wildlife program policy; and from Parks Canada, Rob Prosper.
I understand, Mr. Forbes, you will have a seven- or eight-minute opening statement, and then Mr. Prosper will follow that for two or three minutes.
Proceed, Mr. Forbes.
