The risk matrix, Mr. Speaker, is what worst-case scenario could happen, and would have happened, and did happen, and quite frankly we know...

My question today will be for the Minister of Environment and Natural Resources, Mr. Miltenberger.

It talked about transparency and accountability in the monitoring.

Mr. Speaker, we’ve heard today from two of our Members here on...

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. I’d also like to inform the Members here today, obviously, of the use of parliamentary language and the proper etiquette moving forward. I know it’s been a long day for everyone. To the motion. I have Mr. Menicoche.
