Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for coming. Before I begin my question, I would like to make a request to the chair.
My colleague the member for Saint-Jean is a member of the Standing Committee on National Defence. When we looked at the forestry issue, a number of Conservative members came to our committee, and they were allowed to ask questions. Would you and the other members here agree to allow me to share my time with my colleague Mr. Claude Bachand?
