For the interest of our committee members, if you have any ideas for future study and want to have a discussion outside or inside at any particular time, please know that we're open to that opportunity. For any motions, please send them off to the clerk so he can share them with the committee.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, the committee is commencing its study of Canada's clean energy, clean technology and critical mineral exports.
We have with us today, from the Center for North American Prosperity and Security, Jamie Tronnes, executive director. From the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, we have Heather Exner-Pirot, director of energy, natural resources and environment. From the Mining Association of Canada, we have Pierre Gratton, president and chief executive officer, and Ms. Koutsavlis, vice-president of economic affairs and climate change.
Welcome to all of you.
Our fourth witness had technical issues and was not able to be with us today.
I need to remind the witnesses that committee members will ask questions in either English or French. Please ensure that you have your earpiece next to your monitor so that we don't lose any interpretation opportunities.
Ms. Exner-Pirot and Ms. Tronnes, I invite you to make opening statements of up to five minutes, please.
