We finally have quorum.
Thank you to the witnesses for coming.
I am obviously preaching to the people from the committee who aren't here, but if you could ask your colleagues to please be more timely, it would be much appreciated. We have a full agenda today.
This is meeting number 14 of the Legislative Committee on Bill C-30.
I want to welcome, from Alcan, Mr. Daniel Gagnier, senior vice-president, corporate and external affairs; and Mr. Patrick Tobin, director, government and corporate relations. From the Canadian Steel Producers Association we have Ron Watkins, president; Denis Fraser, president and CEO of Mittal Canada; and Jim Stirling, general manager, environment and energy, for Dofasco Inc. From Interface Flooring Systems (Canada) Inc., we have Rahumathulla Marikkar.
We are waiting—but we'll start—for Mr. Avram Lazar, president and CEO of Forest Products Association of Canada; and from the Mining Association of Canada, Mr. Gordon Peeling, president and chief executive officer.
I've just been advised that Mr. Lazar is not here; he will be here another day. That gives us 10 more minutes.
What we do typically for witnesses is give you about 10 minutes—or less, please—to talk about your interest in Bill C-30. Obviously we're going to learn something about your industry or your company, but we'd like to keep it as focused as we can on Bill C-30, Canada's Clean Air Act, and what can be done to make that act stronger. Then we'll get into the round of questioning.
We will start with Alcan and Monsieur Gagnier or Monsieur Tobin.
It's Monsieur Gagnier, for 10 minutes, please.
