Good afternoon.
I also wish to thank the committee for inviting us.
Since I'm new to this position, I may not be able to answer all your questions today. However, I can assure you that I'm greatly committed to my new role as the commissioner of the environment and sustainable development. I look forward to working with this committee and all parliamentarians to support you in keeping the government accountable on environmental and sustainable development issues.
Mr. Chair, we're now ready to answer the committee's questions.
