Good afternoon, everyone.
Welcome, Mr. Minister.
Ms. Pauzé, I'd like to point out that no one is participating in the meeting virtually, so it wasn't necessary to carry out the sound tests. The room is packed. I'd like to thank the representatives of the Department of the Environment for being here.
I think everyone knows the drill.
Mr. Minister, you have 10 minutes for your opening remarks. Then, we'll move on to questions from committee members.
The floor is yours, Mr. Minister.
