Thank you to those of you who are here on time. I appreciate your punctuality. We will begin.
First I should explain that the agenda today has been somewhat modified since our last meeting. We were going to hear today from officials of the Department of Natural Resources. Unfortunately the key witness we wanted is unable to attend today due to a medical situation, so they are going to appear on Thursday of this week. That leaves us, then, the committee business of our budget to travel to Fort McMurray, the committee budget, and notices of motion from Mr. Cullen.
I'd like to begin with a discussion of the budget to travel to Fort McMurray. I think it's been circulated to all of you, and maybe I'll just let the clerk explain that a little more.
