I call this meeting to order.
Good morning, everyone.
I would like to welcome Mr. Maloney, who is with us this morning and who is also a member of the Standing Committee on Natural Resources. There's obviously a connection between the mandates of the two committees. We are very pleased to have you here this morning.
Today we're on our third meeting of the fossil fuel subsidies study.
We know the protocols. Essentially, if you're staff, you need to keep your masks on at all times. Those around the table can take their masks off. When you circulate, put your masks back on. For those who are joining us online, mute your mike when not speaking in order to avoid the problem of ambient noise. I think that takes care of the rules of procedure, more or less.
I need the committee to adopt one small routine motion related to the witness testimony of Grand Chief Phillip. He was supposed to appear at the last meeting but, at the last minute, couldn't. We would like to include his opening remarks, his testimony, as material for the study report. I don't imagine there's any objection to that. I see everyone is in agreement.
