Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for your presentation. We appreciate your appearing before us.
Let me begin by asking about your participation in the environmental assessment process at the screening level. You said you made submissions—at every opportunity, it sounds like—in opposition to these applications, and yet at the end of the day the applications were approved.
What is your explanation for this? We have to believe that these are based on good science and on good available evidence. Do you disagree with that? What do you think was at play?
