Welcome, colleagues. We will call the meeting to order, this being our 55th meeting of the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development, as we continue our study on urban conservation practices in Canada.
I want to welcome each of the witnesses with us today. Each witness group will have up to 10 minutes for their testimony. As you approach the 10 minutes, I will give you a one-minute signal. Then we'll open it up for some questions.
Thank you so much for being with us today. We're really excited to hear your testimony.
We will begin with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, Ms. Ceschi-Smith, for 10 minutes.
