I call this meeting to order.
I'd like to thank Professor MacIsaac for joining us here today.
Professor MacIsaac, we're studying invasive species. I'm sure you're well aware of the work that we have been doing on this particular study.
I assume the clerk has advised you that we generally allow around 10 minutes for opening presentations from our guests; then we go right into questions. If I cut you off, I apologize in advance. Our members are limited by the amount of time for questions and answers. It's in the interest of fairness to try to keep our questions and answers as close to that timeframe as possible.
Having said that, Professor MacIsaac, whenever you are ready, the floor is yours.
