Let's call the meeting to order.
We are here today looking at Bill C-20. We are public and have some witnesses testifying today via telecommunications from Whitehorse and Montreal. We have some technical difficulties, but we're going to try to work through them.
We have from Whitehorse, John Streicker, from the federal council of the Green Party. Mr. Streicker, we will go with you first and see how it works.
Do you have a bit of an opening statement for us? Let's try to keep that to five minutes or less. Let's go ahead and see how it works and then we'll know from that how the rest are going to go.
Please go ahead.
