I'd like to call meeting number 52 of the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development to order.
We have appearing by video conference from the Yukon Fish and Game Association, Gordon Zealand, executive director; from Lethbridge, Alberta, Wayne Lowry, president of the Alberta Fish and Game Association; and from the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation, Darrell Crabbe, executive director.
We're going to begin in the order that I introduced you, gentlemen, Mr. Gordon Zealand first for a 10-minute opening statement, then Mr. Lowry, and then Mr. Crabbe. Following that, our committee members will proceed with questions during a seven-minute question and answer period.
Mr. Zealand.
