I'll just take this opportunity to introduce the deputy minister, Cassie Doyle, who is with the minister, and the associate deputy minister, Serge Dupont, and I see another gentleman has come to the table. These officials will be here for the second part of the meeting, but they are involved in this part, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to introduce them. We also have at the table Mr. Jim Farrell, Assistant Deputy Minister, Canada Forest Service, Natural Resources Canada.
Welcome.
The clock is stopped, actually. It has been stopped since we started that.
Go ahead, Minister.
