Ladies and gentlemen, we have quorum. I'd like to call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 11 of the Legislative Committee on Bill C-30.
We have two witnesses with us today in person and one via teleconference. In person today we have Professor Richard Peltier,
from the Physics Department of the University of Toronto, and Mr. John Stone, Adjunct Professor at Carleton University and member of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Welcome to you both.
And from the University of Victoria we have Professor Andrew Weaver, from the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences.
Welcome, all.
We'll start off with the usual for witnesses: we give each witness about 10 minutes and try to keep it to 10 minutes, if we can, so that we get maximum questioning in. We'll go through all three presentations and then we'll open it up to questioning from members of the committee.
We'll start in a little different order than that showing on your agenda. We'll start off with Adjunct Professor John Stone from the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Professor Stone, the floor is yours.
