I'm calling our meeting back to order.
For our second panel we have Carl Yates, the general manager for Halifax Water, and Reid Campbell, director of water services.
By video conference we have Marc Edwards, professor, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, Virginia. It's your Thanksgiving over there, and we thank you very much for taking time to join us for this important issue today.
We also have Bruce Lanphear, professor, Health Sciences, Simon Fraser University.
Thank you to all of you who are here.
Mr. Edwards, since it's Thanksgiving and I'm sure you want to get back to your family, how about if we start with you?
Let's open the floor for five minutes. If I have to, so the committee can get their questions in, I'll interrupt you.
Mr. Edwards, please go ahead.
