Thank you, Chair, and thank you to all of our witnesses.
I want to focus my questions to you mainly, Mr. Hooper, because I'm interested in getting your assessment of how the process of getting to a clean fuel standard has unfolded so far. As someone who is not an expert in the different fuels and the different competitions between fuel types, I think it's really hard for the average politician and the average Canadian to understand the public policy merits and the different choices that are involved in developing this.
Obviously you represent a particular institution, but if you are able to unpack that for us, I think it would be helpful as we look at that issue and potentially make recommendations in the course of this study.
