Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank our guests for attending this morning. We appreciate this very much. I find your testimonies very interesting.
Ms. McClenaghan, I'm encouraged to hear you say you saw promising environmental provisions in what you've seen. I also heard Ms. Sharpe make a number of comments. I'd like to bring some clarity around this first.
Dr. Sharpe, I've had some exposure to your organization by having attended meetings with announcements you've made at Sustainable Development Technology Canada. Could you very briefly put more context to this? Tell us what the purpose of the SDTC is, what it's intended to do. If I understand correctly, the Government of Canada made this investment to get this going, in concert with industry or venture capitalists. Would you help us understand your beginnings or genesis?
