Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I will be exceedingly brief, with just one question for Mr. Pentland, if that's okay.
Mr. Pentland, in your remarks, you shared priorities around flood damage reduction, climate change adaptation, water prediction, river basin priorities, water data and water research. It seems to me that we're very lucky in the province of Ontario to have so many great conservation authorities doing the science and doing this work.
Is it your view that this new Canada water policy could take lessons from Ontario's vast knowledge and resources in infrastructure with respect to our conservation authorities and apply that same logic and reason across the country? That will be my only question. After that, I cede the floor to you.
