I would like to call meeting number 27 of the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development to order.
Today all of our witnesses are appearing by video. Let me first thank all of our IT people very much for the work they do to make all of this possible. I'd also like to thank our clerk for living out the values of our environment committee by using video conferencing as opposed to a lot of travel. I think this is a great precedent we're setting.
That being said, we'll move to our witnesses. We have appearing from Renewable Energy Management, Mr. Lewis Staats and Doug Starr from Burlington, Ontario. As well by video we have, from the Ontario Waste Management Association, Mr. Peter Hargreave. From the Emterra Group we have Emmie Leung, chief executive officer and founder.
I think three of them are at the same location, which adds to our ability to cut costs and be efficient.
We will start with Renewable Energy Management. I'm not sure if Lewis Staats or Doug Starr is the spokesperson.
It's Mr. Staats.
We'll give each of the witnesses a 10-minute opening statement. Then we'll come back to the members for their questions after all three have made their presentations.
Mr. Staats, go ahead, please, for 10 minutes.
