Colleagues, we are going to continue with the second part of our meeting today. We have three new witnesses joining us for this hour.
I'd like to welcome, appearing as an individual, Professor Ashwin Iyer, who is the director at the Centre for Applied Research in Defence and Dual-use Technologies at the University of Alberta; Madeleine Redfern, chief operating officer and northern director of CanArctic Inuit Networks Incorporated; and Heather Exner-Pirot, director of energy, natural resources and environment at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.
Witnesses, you will each have upwards of five minutes. I'm typically not strict, but we ran a bit over time in our introductory remarks in the last session, so if you could time yourselves, or just rely on me to give you a bit of a wave at the five-minute mark, I'd appreciate it.
I'm going to start with you, Professor Iyer. The floor is yours.
