I am calling the meeting to order.
On behalf of the committee, I want to welcome our guests.
I appreciate your co-operation in trying to merge two hours into one panel, which I think is actually a more useful way to go about things. I'm still going to go in the order of the expected appearances, and I'm going to ask each of you for a five-minute opening statement.
Our first witness is Greg Carreau, director general, safe environments directorate. Our second witness will be Seth Cain, director, contaminated sites division, at Environment and Climate Change Canada. Our third witness will be, from the Treasury Board Secretariat, Sarah Evans, executive director, investment management directorate.
This is all pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), when we adopted a motion that the committee commence its study on the Department of National Defence and Canadian Armed Forces contaminated sites.
This is our first meeting. I look forward to what you have to say.
I'll start with Mr. Carreau for five minutes, please.
