Adoption has been moved. All in favour?
(Motion agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])
That's unanimous. Thank you very much for doing that.
I would like to move on to welcoming our witnesses.
We are having some technical difficulties. We are still trying to get one group up, which they are still working on. We'll see whether Western Canada Wilderness Committee can join us a little bit later.
Let me introduce everyone who is with us. We have two groups. The first is the World Wildlife Fund, and Sigrid Kuehnemund is with us, the lead specialist from oceans, as well as Kimberley Dunn, manager for national oceans governance. Thank you very much for being with us today.
We also have the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada, represented by Nadim Kara, senior program director, and Lesley Williams, senior manager for aboriginal affairs and resource development.
We thank you very much for joining us today.
By video conference we have Willmore Wilderness Foundation. They are up now.
We want to test whether you can hear us. Can you put your hands up, if you can hear us?
I don't see any hands up. We are not connected. We still have some technical difficulties.
Oh, I see two hands up. That's from the Canadian Cattlemen's Association; they can hear us. Thank you very much.
We will have to work on the other two.
Just to say who is with us on video conference, from the Canadian Cattlemen's Association we have Bob Lowe, the director, and Fawn Jackson, manager for environment and sustainability.
Thank you for joining us.
From the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, we have Stephen Woodley.
Oh, no. We just lost the ones we had.
We definitely have Stephen Woodley, and I appreciate your waving to let us know you are there.
We just have two on the video conference at the moment, and the other group is not.... If you can hear us, please wave again.
We will get going with the video conference group, because I don't want to lose you without hearing from you—if those who are with us don't mind being patient while we try to work with the video conference.
Let's start with Stephen Woodley, please.
Go ahead, start.
