I'd like to welcome Mr. Wolfish and those who are accompanying him today. They are Caroline Blais, director, forest products and Fisheries Act, ECCC; Laura Cervoni, acting director, freshwater policy, Canada water agency; Wayne Jenkinson, executive director, national hydrological services; and Arash Shahsavarani, director, water quality monitoring and surveillance division.
We're going to break as we get closer to the votes, and then we'll resume after each vote. I believe we have unanimous consent for this. That way, we'll finish on time or just a bit late, but not too late.
Witnesses, make sure your mic and your earpiece are at a reasonable distance in order to prevent feedback, which harms the interpreters. When you're not using your earpiece, put it face down on this little coaster-like sticker on the desk, again to avoid feedback.
Mr. Wolfish, the floor is yours for five minutes.
