Good afternoon, everyone.
We have four witnesses from three groups here today.
At about quarter to 5 or so, we will end this portion of the meeting and go to a discussion of future business, a discussion of what the draft of this report might look like, as well as some other issues. This is just a heads-up. I understand we have bells at 5:15, so we want to make sure we leave enough time to handle that.
We have with us today, to continue our study on integrated approaches for providing energy services in Canadian communities, the following: as individuals, Martin Lee-Gosselin, professor at Université Laval and Imperial College London, and Atif Kubursi, professor of economics at McMaster University. From M.K. Jaccard and Associates Inc., we have with us Christopher Bataille, director and business manager, and Robert Joshi, consultant.
Welcome.
We will take the presentations in the order in which they are listed, starting, then, with Martin Lee-Gosselin from the Université Laval and Imperial College.
Go ahead, please.
