Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. We now have quorum, so we can call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting 16 of the legislative committee on Bill C-30.
The topic de jour is CO2 capture. We have some well qualified witnesses: from EPCOR Utilities Inc., David Lewin, senior vice-president of integrated gasification combined cycle development, and Tim Boston, director of public and government affairs; from the Forest Products Association of Canada, Avrim Lazar, president and CEO; from the ICON Group, Stephen Kaufman, with Suncor, and Wishart Robson, with Nexen; and from the University of Calgary, David Keith, Canada Research Chair, Institute for Sustainable Energy, Energy and Environmental Systems Group.
Welcome all. Our usual proceeding is about 10 minutes, less if possible, for each presenter, and then we'll start a round of questioning, varying between opposition and government side, and get all the facts out on the table. I appreciate you all joining us today. It's an important topic that we've been following closely, of course, for a long time.
Without further ado, I would like to call on David Lewin from EPCOR Utilities for up to 10 minutes.
Mr. Lewin, the floor is yours.
