All right. We're ready to get going here.
Thank you to our two witnesses who are here today. We have Benoit Delage, with Conseil régional de l’environnement et du développement durable de l’Outaouais. We'll start with his opening statement, once we have everybody's attention, please. Then we'll move to Mr. Wilson from the Smart Prosperity Institute, and we'll hear his testimony.
Gentlemen, welcome.
Mr. Delage, we'll give you about seven minutes for your opening comments. As with the previous panel, when there's one minute left, I'll flash the yellow card. When you're out of time, I'll give the red card. Wrap it up as quickly as possible.
Once we go through both, we'll get into 18 minutes of questions and answers. I apologize again for the delay in getting to you today. Fortunately you're both local, so I hope that if we felt we needed to, we could invite you back.
Mr. Delage, you may start.
