I call the meeting to order.
Good morning, colleagues.
Today is meeting number 14 of the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development. This meeting is taking place in a hybrid format and is in public. We have witness testimony for the full two hours.
Those in person, please follow the health and safety guidelines on the cards found on your table to prevent audio feedback incidents.
Before we begin, I have a few announcements to make about study budgets. I would like the committee to adopt the four budgets distributed by the clerk a few weeks ago, since we need these amounts to reimburse the witnesses for the cost of their appearances and cover the expenses of our own logistics.
Is it the pleasure of the committee to adopt a budget in the amount of $500 for the briefing with Environment and Climate Change Canada?
All in favour....
