Thank you for raising this important point.
We're studying the estimates, and we have with us today the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Environment and Climate Change.
Welcome, Minister. It's nice to see you again, virtually. I can't remember when the last time was that I saw you in person, but it's good to see you virtually today.
We have, from the Department of the Environment, Christine Hogan, deputy minister. We also have Carol Najm, assistant deputy minister, corporate services and finance branch, and Ron Hallman, president and chief executive officer of the Parks Canada Agency.
We'll start with the minister. Please go ahead, Minister.
