You’re going to recall that Mr. Sackville testified that he didn’t discuss removal criteria related to the greenbelt with anyone until October 27.

An introduction.

I’d like to welcome the chief from Prince Edward County—I think I see him up there—Chad Brown. Good to see you, Chief.

I believe that everyone here has been introduced—oh. The member for St. Catharines.
