Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I would like to thank all our witnesses for coming here today.
I would like to begin by talking about the environment with Mr. Van Iterson. The Conservative government recently announced that it was at last planning to continue with consultations and to push back the implementation of the measures that will have to be implemented.
I would like your view on how Canadians are seeing this. When I talk to people, I get the impression that Quebeckers and Canadians are ready for environmental action. In my view, the time for consultations is over. Your report contains suggestions that could be applied today.
Do you think we should continue the consultation process and postpone the genuine decisions, or have we come to the point where we need to take action?
