Ms. Lapointe do you want to say anything? Okay, that'll be during questions and comments.
Ms. Reid, it's not a problem. That happens quite a bit around here. Some would say I've made a career of showing up at the wrong place at the right time, but I digress.
I want to thank all of you for coming here, this of course being about the Fraser River. Being from Newfoundland and Labrador, I always like to say I'm from the beginning of the country. However, today I'm surrounded by a lot of British Columbians, so I'll have to say I'm from the end of the country.
Mr. Doherty, Mr. Arnold, Mr. Donnelly, Mr. Hardie, Ms. Goldsmith-Jones are here, and I forget to mention that Mr. Beech is with us as well, the parliamentary secretary. His riding is Burnaby North—Seymour.
We're opening up to questions. We're going to go to Mr. Hardie to start.
You have seven minutes, sir.
