Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Van Iterson, I appreciate your presentation. I actually had some of your members in my office a week and a half ago, and we had a very good conversation. There are three sections to it, if I recall correctly, and one of them is the Great Lakes. I have been actively working on getting funding for Randall Reef, which is a hot spot in the Great Lakes. Fortunately, the Minister of the Environment came out, and we put federal money of $30 million on the table to clean it up. I'm quite happy with that, and I'm happy to work on those particular issues.
I wouldn't mind some comments from your organization's perspective on the recent announcements we've had in terms of creating new parkland in this country. We've done some in the Great Lakes, for example, and we've done some in northern Canada recently. I didn't hear anything back from your organization at all on it, and I would like to know, from any press release or anything you or your organization has done, how you feel about the work we've done in this area.
