The Chair Liberal Joël Lightbound

I thank you for that.

Pursuant to the motion adopted on Monday, March 18, 2024, the committee is resuming its study of the Development and Deployment of ELYSIS Technology at Rio Tinto and Alcoa Facilities.

I’d like to welcome the Honourable François‑Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry here with us today, as well as Mr. Simon Kennedy, deputy minister.

As everyone knows, the first hour of the meeting will focus on ELYSIS technology, while the second will be devoted to the 2024-25 Main Estimates. I would therefore ask you to adhere, as far as possible, to today's meeting schedule and to focus your questions on ELYSIS technology during the first hour of the meeting.

Without further ado, Minister, I yield the floor to you to deliver your opening remarks.
