Welcome, committee members. I would like to call the meeting of the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development to order. This is meeting no. 80. That sounds like a busy year.
We're privileged this morning to have with us a witness from Ambioterra, Priscilla Gareau, director. She will proceed with a 10-minute opening statement followed by questions from committee members. Then at 9:45 we will move to in camera to consider instructions for drafting our report.
Madam Gareau, welcome, and we will ask you to proceed with your opening statement.
