Leslie Muñoz (Director, Advocacy, Federation of Canadian Municipalities) at the Environment and Sustainable Development Committee

Hi, thank you.

I'm very excited to be here on behalf of FCM, and I appreciate that the committee is discussing this very important matter.

My name is Leslie Muñoz. Our main witness is our board member, Louise Wallace Richmond, from the city of Salmon Arm, B.C., who is the vice-chair of our environment committee.

I'll pass it over to Louise to speak on our behalf.
