Good morning, everybody. I'd like to call the meeting to order. Just for your information, given the fact that we've changed rooms, the meeting will not be televised.
We are meeting pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and section 343 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act of 1999, statutory review of the assessment of substances--virtual elimination. We have a series of witnesses.
Could you please limit your presentations to ten minutes and also introduce yourselves.
We'll start off with Mr. Gordon Lloyd.
