I call the meeting to order. We are meeting pursuant to the order of reference on June 13, 2007, for Bill S-220, an act to protect heritage lighthouses.
We'd like to thank our witnesses for coming in today. From the Department of Fisheries and Oceans we have Cal Hegge, assistant deputy minister, human resources and corporate services, and David Burden, director for real property divestiture. From Parks Canada we have Patricia Kell, director for policy and government relations, national historic sites--now, there's a long title--and Doug Tapley, manager for cabinet affairs.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for coming in. We ask for your presentation.
