Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd also like to thank the witnesses.
I'd like to begin by saying that I'm particularly proud of the experts at Siemens Energy Canada, which has facilities in Montreal. I know that Ms. Damoff, who represents Oakville North—Burlington, is also proud of those in her riding.
I see that we have some technical difficulties on the translation. I believe you're probably more comfortable in English, sir, so I'll ask you a few questions in English today.
I'll begin with a comment you made in your introduction, which I found very interesting. It was that your role was to provide information to the government, not political advice. I'd like to use the time with you here today to seek some more technical information. I understand that you're an engineer as well.
On September 26, there were explosions in the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines. I understand that Nord Stream 1 was completely disabled by the explosion. Can you give us a sense of what the damage was to Nord Stream 1 versus Nord Stream 2?
