Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our guests. As the member of Parliament for Kelowna—Lake Country in British Columbia, it's great to be here and to have your voices heard in our province.
It is good to see Mayor Jackson again. We had a chance to meet with metro Vancouver mayors last year, and it was very good to hear the news, with Premier Campbell and our federal government, in partnership with the infrastructure money, having that money flowing. It is very timely seeing as the Union of British Columbia Municipalities conference is taking place in Vancouver this week. I note the fact that it is very timely and very important to get those dollars flowing for infrastructure projects throughout the province.
Specifically with regard to your concerns with flood protection and dredging, Mayor Jackson, I just want to know if metro Vancouver has taken a position for the whole Fraser, or are you just looking specifically today on behalf of the Ladner area?
