Thank you, everyone.
Thanks to all the witnesses here today.
This is my first time on the environment and sustainable development committee, having recently been elected in the riding of York Centre. For my constituents the environment was a significant issue, not just in what's happening currently, but also in how we are preparing ourselves for future generations. I am thrilled to be on this committee. My understanding is that today the focus of the study is on enforcement and collaborative measures going forward, and how we do better.
My first question, with that in mind, is directed to Mr. Wright. I noted that the government has invested $46 million over the next five years in environmental enforcement. I'd like to hear from you, Mr. Wright, about the existing collaborative efforts between the different levels of government that are currently in place regarding enforcement. Would you be able to explain in more detail, to me and my home province of Ontario, how those work to ensure enforcement measures are working collaboratively to protect Canadians?
