Bonjour, monsieur le président and members of the committee.
Welcome to Canada's lotus land.
My name is John Roscoe, and I am the chair of Ladner Sediment Group.
Thank you for this opportunity to speak before you today.
I would like to introduce to you our spokesperson, Mr. Chris Scurr. Chris is a business owner in our local community and operates Delta's Ladner Cruise and Travel Centre. He is the president of the Floating Home Association, Pacific Region, representing over 500 residents along our waterfront. He is a director of the Ladner Business Association. He is also chair of a focus group for redefining our Ladner Harbour business area. Chris is also a director of the Delta Chamber of Commerce and a director and founding member of Delta's Roberts Bank Lifeboat Society. Chris has lived along the river for 15 years on a float home on our local channels. Chris is also the spokesperson for the Ladner Sediment Group.
On that note, I would like to turn this presentation over to Chris.
