Thank you, Ms. Fairburn, for that very informative presentation.
From my time at the University of Calgary in research administration, I've seen a lot of the work that industry has done in this field. It's really neat to see COSIA come together with the principle of accelerating those innovations.
We're here today to discuss the positive environmental outcomes as a result of your mandate, so I'd like to start by clarifying that.
On April 4, in statements made in the House of Commons, an NDP colleague repeatedly referred to COSIA as an oil sands lobby group. Would you characterize this statement as accurate? If not, can you clarify for the members of the committee what your mandate is?
