I call the meeting to order.
Thank you and good morning, everyone. Welcome to meeting 25 of the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities. The orders of the day are, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), a study of innovative transportation technologies.
Joining us today from Encana Corporation is Sam Shaw, vice-president, natural gas policy development, and from the Canadian Propane Association we have Jim Facette, president and chief executive officer.
Welcome, Mr. Shaw. We had you here recently and had to leave you, so we'll try not to do that today. I'll ask you to make your opening comments. Then we'll go to Mr. Facette and after that to the committee for questions.
