Thank you to the officials for being here. I note we have nobody from the Department of the Environment.
My first question is to you, Mr. Parker, because you hold a very important position, actually drafting the legislation and regulations. I admire that. I've had similar jobs myself.
Who did you take your marching orders from, or was it the CEAA office that actually drafted the first part of this bill? Who was actually leading the drafting, and who was making the final decisions on what provisions went in or didn't go in?
