Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I guess I'll start off with some questions and then make some comments later on. Hopefully I will have some time from my colleagues to allow me to pass on some further comments.
First off, I want to thank you folks for being here today, because this is an important issue. This issue is near and dear to my heart with the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence and everything that's attached to it. I mean not only the benefits but also the challenges that we experience with shoreline erosion and many other things, some of which we experience, some of us, on a daily basis.
I want to start off with looking at the St. Lawrence River. I'm going to start with Jeff Ridal with respect to his comments and with regard to the 2017 and 2019 flooding of Lake Ontario.
Do you have any idea what the cost was—either financial or environmental—of those extreme weather events to the shorelines of the St. Lawrence at those times?
