Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to welcome members of the committee to this meeting.
I have apologies from Richard Lochhead, who is unable to attend.
I welcome Linda Fabiani and Janis Hughes, who are reporters from the Transport and the Environment Committee. I welcome back Andrew Dickson and Jane Hope, whom we have met before in connection with the national parks bill.
I offer a special welcome to the Minister for Transport and the Environment, Sarah Boyack, who is here today primarily to give us an update on the progress of the consultation on the draft national parks bill and to answer our questions.
