I call this meeting to order.
Good afternoon, everybody. This is meeting number 48 of the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development. We're continuing today with our study of retrofits for home energy efficiency.
For those in person, please remember to follow the health and safety guidelines as per the cards on the table to prevent audio or feedback incidents.
Before we begin, members, the analysts are currently working on the report for the study on carbon pricing and are seeking recommendations by members before October 16. Please note that if you have recommendations that you would like considered by the analysts for the carbon pricing report, you need to submit those by end of day Friday.
For the first hour, we have two witnesses with us. Unfortunately, the third witness didn't receive the headset in time.
From The Atmospheric Fund, we have Bryan Purcell, vice-president of policy and programs, joining us virtually. From The ReCover Initiative, we have Lorrie Rand, senior adviser, joining us virtually as well.
You have five minutes for your opening statements. We do have a time card to let you know when you're at one minute and when you're out of time.
We will begin with you, Mr. Purcell. The floor is yours for five minutes.
