Yes. Okay.
I welcome the members of the committee as well as the first group of witnesses, who are joining us by video conference.
For the benefit of the witnesses, who may not be familiar with all the procedures we have in place in the House of Commons to avoid acoustic shocks, I will outline the steps to follow.
If you do not have the floor, please turn off your microphone. When you do have the floor, please make sure your microphone is at about nose level.
We will now begin.
For the first panel of witnesses, we welcome first Mr. Yanick Baillargeon, who is president of Alliance forêt boréale. Then we have Bastien Deschênes and Karl Gauthier from Granulco. Finally, we are pleased to welcome two representatives of the Essipit Innu First Nation Council, Chief Martin Dufour and Mr. Michael Ross, who is director of development and territory.
Each organization will have five minutes to make their opening remarks.
We'll begin with Mr. Yanick Baillargeon.
You have the floor for five minutes.
