Okay, thank you very much. We got that done.
Now we're going to the subcommittee report where we're going to try to talk about the work plan.
Just before we get into discussion, what I am hearing is that we already have next week laid out for the minister and we were going to start into the protected areas. I was concerned and I think I've said it many times that we're trying to push the directions to staff on the report too fast and that we need time to do it, but we all thought in the subcommittee we may be able to do it.
I spent some time last night trying to draft it. I think it needs a lot more discussion. I believe we may not need a whole meeting, but we will need some time to have a discussion around the table on what direction. The better we give direction, the better the report, and the less time we will need on the back end and the less time and aggravation that we create in the wider environment of people who may get their hands on it and want to start to get concerned about things that we weren't necessarily intending because we didn't have clarity on our drafting instructions.
I think drafting instructions are incredibly important. It's our first one. Many of us are brand new and we haven't done it before. I would like to have consideration as we discuss this for at least one meeting to get us off the ground on how we do it, and have really good drafting instructions going forward on the strategy and the act. We really have not discussed the strategy and I think we just began to hear today the difficulties with it. That's one thing, and then obviously the rest of it is open for discussion.
I'll open the floor, Mr. Bossio.
