Colleagues, I will call this 20th meeting of the Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development to order.
Today, colleagues, in our study of land use and sustainable economic development, we have before us two separate witnesses. We have representation from the Office of the Auditor General. They will be speaking specifically, colleagues, to the report that has been distributed to members, and it is chapter 6 of the 2009 report. We will hear from them with regard to that report. I remind you, colleagues, that this is what they are here for and prepared to speak about.
We have with us as well representatives from the Department of the Environment. They will be answering questions related to the issues we have heard about with regard to the possible legislative gaps and probably additional items on that fund.
We're going to turn it over for opening statements first to representatives from the Auditor General.
I believe, Mr. Campbell, you have an opening statement. We'll turn it over to you.
Thank you.
