Thank you. And I want to thank our witnesses for being here before us. This is the first co-drafted bill under -- of the new process convention on bills drafted pursuant to the Intergovernmental Council Legislative Development Protocol. And it's been an honour to chair Committee of the Whole as this is kind of a historical moment that we've had this. And so, again, thank you for being here and, you know, we had lots of little learning curves there and we'll, hopefully, in the future we'll be able to straighten those out. Thank you for appearing before us. Sergeant-at-arms, you may escort the witnesses from the Chamber.
Committee, we've agreed to consider Bill 78, Waste Reduction and Resource Recovery Act. I will ask the Minister of Environment and Climate Change to introduce the bill. Minister of ECC.
