Thank you very much.
Principally, we're here this morning graced with the presence of the Minister of Natural Resources, Gary Lunn, and two individuals from the department. Good morning, Ms. Kirby and Mr. McCauley.
The first hour of the meeting will be devoted to a study of Bill C-5. I'm wondering, Minister Lunn, if without further ado I could turn it over to you for your ten-minute presentation on Bill C-5.
