Thank you, Mr. Chair. It is great to have this opportunity to speak to our officials and ask them a few questions.
I want to start with you, Mr. Martin, with regard to the national conservation plan, which this committee did a lot of work on a few years ago. We were very pleased, after great cooperation in the committee across all party lines, to submit our report and also to see that report being very much the strong basis for the national conservation plan.
It's something that I think is near and dear to the hearts of many on this committee. I was hoping you could give us a sense of the status of the implementation of the national conservation plan today.
