Okay, thank you very much, colleagues. We are going to resume with the second panel for tonight's meeting. Joining us as our witnesses are: from the Corporation of the District of Kent, Mr. Lorne Fisher, councillor; from Ecovision Law, Mr. Stephen Hazell, senior counsel; from MiningWatch Canada, Mr. Jamie Kneen, communications coordinator; from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, Mr. Gregory Thomas, federal and Ontario director; and from the Northwest Territories Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Hughie Graham, president, whom I don't see at the table right now, but I'm hoping will join us shortly.
Without further ado, we're going to proceed in the order in which the witnesses appear on the orders of the day for this committee. We're going to start with Mr. Fisher, for up to 10 minutes, sir.
