Well, maybe not that exciting. I don't want all those reporters running after us.
We are carrying on with our study of Bill C-69, and we have quite a few witnesses in front of us. I always wonder, what is the right word: guests, witnesses, experts?
Thank you very much for joining us today, and I'll just let the committee know who's with us.
We have Nigel Bankes, professor, faculty of law, University of Calgary, and he's with us through video conference. From the Canada West Foundation, we have Colleen Collins, vice-president, research. From the Ecology Action Centre, we have Mark Butler, policy director. We also have Lisa Mitchell. executive director and senior lawyer for East Coast Environmental Law. Finally, from the Pembina Institute, we have Duncan Kenyon, managing director, and Nichole Dusyk. Dr. Dusyk is a postdoctoral fellow responsible for federal policy.
Welcome to each of you. We're very much looking forward to the discussions today.
We'll start with Mr. Bankes.
