Thank you very much, Mr. Chisholm.
We'll move on and thank our guests for joining us today. Sorry for the delay, but certainly business has to be taken care of.
Mr. Imre, I appreciate your taking the time out of your busy schedule to appear before our committee today and to discuss the issue that this committee has undertaken as a study: invasive species in the Great Lakes water system. I look forward to your presentation.
Our clerk has probably advised you that we generally allow about ten minutes for presentations and then we move into questions and answers.
If I interrupt you at some point, I apologize in advance. In the interest of fairness, members are constrained by certain time limits to allow everyone the appropriate amount of time available to them.
Anytime you're ready, please proceed.
