Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
I call the meeting to order. Welcome to the 79th meeting of the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates.
We're eager today to continue with our study on energy efficiency in government buildings and demand-side management of our energy resources in general.
We're very grateful and very pleased to have representatives from two of our provincial jurisdictions, British Columbia and Manitoba, who are connected by teleconference. I understand everything is working well in terms of our long distance telecommunications.
Can you hear us, gentlemen?
