I thank Dr. Whelan and all other witnesses for their opening statements. All members will agree they were incredibly interesting, educational and thought-provoking. Unfortunately, we are limited to two hours, but we genuinely could have gone on for many more hours on last week's discussion on biodiversity. There will be a lot of interest in this. As the meeting is confined to two hours, can I get agreement from members that we will limit contributions to two minutes to ask questions? There will then potentially be an opportunity for a second round of questions. Is that agreed? Agreed. That will also give the witnesses an opportunity to elaborate on their answers.
