I would just like to start by asking if we have any updates from Minister Guilbeault or officials on when they'll be attending. My understanding is that they were asked. I think we need to understand from an environmental standpoint what the purpose is of their current plan of destroying the forestry industry and upending communities, and whether or not they've looked at other options that include maternal penning or predation control.
When will the minister be appearing to explain? Secondarily to that, what role will this set of meetings have in the ongoing consultation that's slated to end on September 15? I just want to understand when the minister will be appearing so that we can ask very important environmental-related questions and about the jobs that will be impacted by this overbearing decision from the minister.
