Good morning, everyone. I now call this meeting to order. Welcome to meeting number 20 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology. Pursuant to the order of reference of Saturday, April 11, the committee is meeting for the purpose of receiving evidence concerning matters related to the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Today's meeting is taking place by video conference and the proceedings will be made available via the House of Commons website.
I would like to remind you, members and witnesses, before speaking to please wait until I recognize you by name. When you are ready to speak, please unmute your microphone and then return to mute when you have finished speaking. When you are speaking, I'd ask that you do so slowly and clearly so that the translators can do their work. As is my normal practice, I will wave the yellow card when you have 30 seconds remaining in your intervention. When you see the red card that means you have run out of time.
I would now like to welcome our witnesses. With us today we have Dr. Arthur McDonald, professor emeritus, Gordon and Patricia Gray chair in particle astrophysics, Nobel Prize in Physics laureate 2015, Queen's University.
From Bidali we have Mr. Eric Kryski, chief executive officer and co-founder.
From Dynamite Network, we have Mr. Jeff Musson, president and chief executive officer.
From StarFish Medical, we have Mr. Scott Phillips, chief executive officer, and John Walmsley, executive vice-president, strategic relationships.
From Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, we have Mr. Joe McBrearty, president and chief executive officer.
From SNOLAB, we have Mr. Nigel Smith, executive director, and from TRIUMF, we have Mr. Jonathan Bagger, director.
The first five witnesses will be giving testimony, and SNOLAB and TRIUMF are here to provide support in responding to questions. Each witness will present for seven minutes followed by the rounds of questions. We will begin with Dr. Arthur McDonald.
You have the floor for seven minutes.
