We're resuming our meeting.
This is the last discussion we're going to have in relation to the EV study that we have been engaged in for a few months now. There are four witnesses joining us today—three joining us virtually and one here in the room.
Witnesses, I typically allow a bit of latitude on introductory remarks, but I'm going to have to be a bit tighter on time today because our first panel ran a fair bit over. At five minutes, I'm not going to cut you off entirely, but I'm certainly going to tell you that we're close to that window.
Here in the room, we have someone joining us whom we've heard from on several occasions. Welcome back to you, Brian Kingston. He is the president and chief executive officer of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association.
Joining us virtually, from Dunsky Energy and Climate Advisors, we have Jeff Turner, who's the director of mobility; from Electro-Federation Canada, we have Cherith Sinasac, who's the director of government affairs; and from the Global Network for Strategic Effects, we have Michael Kovrig, who is the founder.
Welcome to all of you. Thank you for being here today.
Mr. Kovrig, I will start with you, sir. You'll have up to five minutes for your introductory remarks.
I'd like to confirm that the sound tests were completed successfully.
Go ahead, Mr. Kovrig.
