Good morning, everyone. It's good to see you here this morning.
We are here pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) to continue our study on the contribution of integrated approaches for providing energy services in Canadian communities.
We have today, by teleconference, two groups of witnesses. The first is from Berlin, Germany; we have as an individual Dr. Christine Wörlen from Arepo Consult. We have by videoconference, as individuals from Malmö, Sweden, Mr. Öhrström from Ortelius Management and Mr. Arne Sandin from Triple-E.
We'll have each group make its ten-minute presentation, in the order in which you appear on the agenda. We'll start with Dr. Christine Wörlen for a presentation of up to ten minutes before we hear from the other group; then we'll go to questions and comments.
Again, welcome, and thank you very much for being with us today. We really appreciate it, as we know it's not easy with the time difference.
