Thank you for those great presentations. It's great to have you here today for this very important discussion.
I'd like to start with Brad. It's great to see you again. I saw you a couple of weeks ago for a great announcement at Quinte Conservation about a $250,000 federal investment being made into drought management to help better understand, manage and monitor the situations that we experienced in 2016. Maybe you can give us a description of why this is so important, especially today with the advent of climate change and as we try to find ways to adapt and mitigate.
