Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
I guess this is just a continuation of the discussion we had earlier on. I have no doubt that you have followed, at least in part, some of the interventions that have been presented to this committee in the last little while since you were here. There are a couple of concerns that maybe you can address.
First of all, we heard last week about some of the advantages, perceived and real, and the disadvantages, perceived and spun, of the proposals that are before us, such as for minor works, etc. I wonder if you have any observations you think this committee ought to take into consideration, given the testimony we're received so far.
Perhaps Mr. Nash and Ms. Scharf might want to talk about that first, because the discussions have really been about Transport Canada and infrastructure more than anything else; that's where the focus has been. And then we'll talk, if you don't mind, about the environment and DFO afterwards.
