Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I will make it quite brief. The point I wanted to make is that the subcommittee is an important committee, and if that subcommittee wants to be a valuable part of this environment committee and avoid rehashing and causing a problem for this committee, it has to have proper representation. I have shared some of the things that are very important to me and I hope to other members of the committee--topics and solutions that we will take a serious look at. Those are the reasons, Mr. Chair, that I have expressed so much concern. I'll end my comments with that.
I'm very disappointed that what I've read in the media appears to be true; it appears that there is a concerted effort by the Liberals, and the Bloc supporting the Liberals, to try to stall this committee and also to stall and keep the government from participating. I find that very disappointing; I wish we were working together.
Thank you.
