Yes, it's confirmed. He will definitely be here, unless he's unable to attend.
I was going to welcome you all after a long summer break, but since we saw each other recently, I've already had the opportunity to do so.
Mr. Godin is here today replacing Mr. Leslie, I assume, and Mr. Martel is replacing Mr. Deltell. Mr. Boulerice, who is participating in the meeting by video conference, is replacing Ms. Collins. Mr. Drouin is replacing Mr. van Koeverden. Finally, Mr. Simard is accompanying Ms. Pauzé.
Obviously, you are aware of the measures put in place to prevent acoustic incidents. For example, when you're not using your earpiece, please place it on the sticker on your desk as indicated.
Today's meeting is a long one, ending at 1:30, with three panels.
First, we have Dr. Justina Ray, who is president and senior scientist of the Wildlife Conservation Society of Canada. We also have Mr. Martin Bouchard, director of the Association québécoise des entrepreneurs forestiers. We also have three representatives from the Confédération des syndicats nationaux, Yvan Duceppe, treasurer of the CSN, as well as political advisor Julien Laflamme and union advisor Isabelle Ménard. Finally, we have two representatives of the Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses du Québec, Mr. Denis Bolduc, who is the general secretary of the FTQ, and Mr. Patrick Rondeau, who is a union advisor, Environment and Just Transition.
You each have five minutes for your opening remarks.
We'll start with you, Ms. Ray. You have five minutes.
