Thank you, and thank you all for being here today.
I'm going to turn to Dr. Turner. I want to get on the record what a pleasure it is to see you here today, and what an honour.
I want to say a few things about your work, and how important it's been to me and others. You have the Order of Canada, just so everybody knows. We all respect that. You're a true pioneer at that intersection between western science and indigenous knowledge, so thank you. Lim’limpt, as we say in the Nsyilxcn language, for all of your books, which I've used so often over the last 50 years.
You touched on a few examples of your work where indigenous knowledge was used, or was attempted to be used, in policy decisions. Could you use the Clayoquot process to talk about your experience in that regard?
