Welcome to the seventh meeting of the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development. This is the third meeting of our study on zero-emission vehicles. This is a hot topic right now. In addition to general trends towards cleaner energy, as we know, last week, the Quebec government made quite an important announcement on zero-emission vehicles.
This meeting is in a hybrid format. As you know, you can use the language of your choice. When you aren't speaking, please mute your microphone to avoid any miscommunication.
Today we have six witnesses. Each witness will get five minutes for opening statements and then we'll go right into the Q and A sessions.
We have with us Suzanne Goldberg, director of public policy from ChargePoint, and Maxime Charron, president of LeadingAhead Energy. From Siemans Canada Limited, we have Faisal Kazi, president and CEO, Rocco Delvecchio, vice-president of government affairs, and Theresa Cooke, head of strategy and e-mobility. We also have Cedric Smith, analyst at the Pembina Institute, Angelo DiCaro, director of research at Unifor, and Patrick Bateman, interim president of WaterPower Canada.
We'll go in the order that I just read out. That means we'll start with Ms. Goldberg for five minutes, please.
