Thank you.
Mr. Jim Quail, British Columbia Public Interest Advocacy Centre, and Ms. Tina Marie Bradford. Thank you very much as well. Tina, we can recognize you here, since you were the last one to shake your head.
Witnesses, I want to let you know you're being fed our voices in English only, but members, you can ask questions in either of the official languages, as you prefer. I would also ask the witnesses, when you are not speaking, to please turn off your microphones, if you're allowed to do that. I'm not seeing that you have individual microphones, but if there is any opportunity for you to turn the mikes off out there, that would help us here.
As well, our experience with video conferencing is that it's most beneficial for us at this end if you speak slowly, as obviously our translators do not have copies of your message.
Witnesses, I know you were instructed that you have five minutes. Certainly I'll respect that instruction, but if you don't need the full five minutes, don't feel obligated to take it. That's all I need to say.
We can start with opening statements and we can start with Tina Marie. We'll have you go first, and then we'll move straight across to our right. Introduce yourself, and then give your opening statement. Thank you.
