I call this meeting to order.
Committee members, could you take your seats? We are ready to begin. The clerk has advised me that we have a quorum.
Welcome to meeting number 130 of the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills, Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities. Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, but all of our witnesses and committee members are appearing in person in the room.
I would like to advise those in the room of a couple of items.
You have the option of choosing to participate in the official language of your choice. Translation is available through the headset. I suggest you get familiar with it before we begin, because we sometimes have a few issues with being on the right channel for participating in the language of your choice. If there's an issue with translation services, please raise your hand and I will suspend while it is being corrected.
As well, in the meeting process, please direct all questions and comments through the chair and wait until I recognize you by name before commenting or taking the floor.
Those with devices, please make sure alarms are turned off before we begin, because these sounds can cause issues for the translators. As well, please refrain from tapping the boom on the mic, because, again, it causes issues for the translators. We cannot proceed without translation services.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Thursday, June 3, 2024, the committee is continuing its study on advancements in homebuilding technologies.
I would like to welcome our witnesses.
We have Jim Facette, executive director, Canadian Roofing Contractors Association; Daniel Pascoe, chief commercial officer, Flexobuild Inc.; and Marcos Silveira, director of engineering at Printerra 3D Construction Printing.
Today we're going with one two-hour panel for the full duration of the meeting. Gentlemen, you each have five minutes for your opening remarks. At around five minutes, I will ask you to wrap up your comments whenever you can.
We'll begin with Mr. Facette for five minutes.
Mr. Facette, you have the floor.
