Thank you, Madam Chair.
I hopefully will get to three witnesses today. We'll start with KC Recycling, go to the Pacific Economic Development Agency, and then come back to the airport.
First, Mr. Stamper, early congratulations on becoming a Canadian citizen. It's an exciting time. I suspect that you'll get a letter from your member of Parliament congratulating you. If you don't, just come back to this committee. I'm sure many people would be happy to congratulate you again.
Walk me through what you said at the beginning about the life cycle of a battery. I thought that was shocking. I get that you had only five minutes to get that out, but you basically said that a battery, when it's recycled, is shipped off to a different country. I'm assuming that's an Asian country and not the U.S. It's melted in burn pits. Then there's the impact of that on kids and kids' health.
I'll give you a few more minutes to expand on some of that. That sounds pretty serious, if you ask me.
