Thank you, Mr. Anderson.
I see no other point of order.
We're here today, pursuant to Standing Order 81(4), to deal with the main estimates for 2008-2009, votes 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30, under Department of Natural Resources, referred to the committee on Thursday, February 28, 2008.
We have appearing before our committee today the Honourable Gary Lunn, Minister of Natural Resources. Welcome.
From the Department of Natural Resources we have Cassie Doyle, deputy minister, and Richard Tobin, assistant deputy minister. So welcome, to all of you.
Mr. Lunn, I understand you have a presentation to make. Go ahead and make your presentation, and then we'll get directly to questioning. Go ahead.
