We're getting started a little late. I'm sorry about that.
Thank you all very much for joining us today.
Welcome, Raj and Jati, to the committee today.
I believe we'll do a full two rounds of questioning. I'd like to save about 15 minutes at the end of the meeting to do a little bit of committee business. We will have to continue our discussion on witnesses right after the meeting, so we'll see how we do, but I would like to reserve those 15 minutes for some of the committee work we need to do.
I'd like to introduce our witnesses. First, from the Department of the Environment we have Vincent Ngan, director general, horizontal policy engagement and coordination.
From the Department of Natural Resources we have Sarah Stinson, director, buildings and industry division, office of energy efficiency, energy sector; and Frank DesRosiers, assistant deputy minister in the innovation and energy technology sector. Mr. DesRosiers has been here before.
Finally, from the National Research Council of Canada we have Richard Tremblay, director general, construction; and Philip Rizcallah, director, building regulations.
Welcome to all of you. Thank you very much for being with us today. We're really looking forward to what you have to share with us.
Who would like to start?
Thank you.
