Good afternoon and welcome to meeting number 135 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development.
The first hour of the meeting will focus on greenhouse gas emissions reduction policies in Canada, following a motion adopted by the committee on Friday, November 15.
Today, it is our honour and privilege to welcome the Minister of the Environment and Climate Change.
Minister, unless I'm mistaken, you'd like to take five minutes for your opening remarks. Is that correct?
