Ladies and gentlemen, I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 33 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry and Technology.
Pursuant to the order of reference of Wednesday, June 1, the committee is meeting to study Bill C-235, an act respecting the building of a green economy in the Prairies.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format pursuant to the House order of Thursday, June 23.
Committee members who are in the room and would like to speak should raise their hands. Those who are participating via Zoom should use the “Raise Hand” feature.
This is our first meeting of the season, and I'm delighted to see you again.
I'm also very happy to receive the hon. Jim Carr.
Without further ado, I will now give the floor to Mr. Carr.
