I call the meeting back to order.
Thank you, everybody.
Thank you to all of our officials for being with us this afternoon as we discuss Bill C-244, an act to amend the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, and the Wrecked, Abandoned or Hazardous Vessels Act.
We've already heard from Josée-Annie Verville from the Canadian Coast Guard. I'd like to introduce the rest of the witnesses who are here today.
From the Department of the Environment, we have Stephanie Lane, executive director of legislative governance; Daniel Wolfish, director general of environmental protection operations; and David Taillefer, national manager of marine programs.
From the Department of Transport, we have Sean Rogers, executive director of legislative, regulatory and international affairs; Michelle Sanders, executive director of navigation protection and environmental programs; Paula Vieira, director general of environmental policy; Colin Henein, director of marine environmental policy; and Joanne Weiss Reid, director of operations and regulatory development.
Thank you all very much for being here.
I believe we have two more opening statements.
We'll go next to Ms. Lane from the Department of the Environment. The floor is yours for five minutes.
