There is huge frustration out there and people are worried about the economic viability of the sector. That is where the committee will be coming from. We want to get a satisfactory economic and environmental solution to this issue.

Many members are looking to speak and we have limited time so I will take speakers in groups of three. I will go back to the Minister of State after each group of speakers because otherwise I do not think I will be able to give everyone an opportunity.
