Thank you, Chair, and thanks to all the witnesses who have come to committee today for this first day of Parliament.
My questions will be for Ms. Plotkin from the David Suzuki Foundation.
First, over the course of the last couple of weeks, we've heard a lot of conflicting rhetoric around the state of caribou populations, primarily in Quebec. Could you provide us with your take and with what the science tells us about caribou population numbers and how they've changed over the last 10 or 20 years or whatever time frame you have available?
