Ladies and gentlemen, I call to order meeting number 49 of the Standing Committee on Natural Resources. Today we continue our discussion on our study of the greening of electricity consumption in Canada, on the use of coal and towards a clean technology.
Appearing from the Department of Natural Resources today, we have Graham Campbell, director general of the Office of Energy Research and Development; and John Marrone, who is director general of the CANMET Energy Technology Centre here in Ottawa.
Also appearing will be George White, chairman of the Coal Association of Canada, and maybe I'll give Sherritt International Corporation a plug too while we're at it. From the Canadian Clean Power Coalition, we have David Lewin, chairman.
I think we'll begin with the department. Sharing the first 10 minutes will be Graham Campbell, and we'll begin with John Marrone.
John, go ahead, please.
