Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to all our witnesses.
There is quite a potpourri of different policy advice here for the federal government to consider. I appreciate every bit of it.
I'm going to start with you, Mr. Priestley. You sent in a briefing note to this committee. I thought you were pretty clear in your presentation here, but I found that you really didn't touch very much on the flight and duty rules that have been gazetted.
In my understanding, you have said that if these rules go through by Transport Canada, regarding flight and duty times, there's going to be a significant increase in the cost to deliver all forms of northern and remote society services or there will be a reduction in services—one or the other. Could you tell us a little about the flight and duty rules?
