I see agreement with proceeding as planned. Thank you for that.
This afternoon, we have former members of the net-zero advisory body here to speak with us as per a past motion of this committee.
We have Dr. Simon Donner, professor at the University of British Columbia, with us by video conference. We also have Catherine Abreu, executive director of the International Climate Politics Hub.
Thank you so much for being with us today.
I think you have opening statements, so you each have five minutes to make a statement.
We will start with you, Ms. Abreu. The floor is yours for up to five minutes.
Thank you.
