Good afternoon, members of the committee and invited witnesses.
This is the 34th meeting of the Standing Committee on Natural Resources. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are engaged in a study on the state of the nuclear industry in Canada and abroad.
We welcome Serge Dupont, special adviser to the Minister of Natural Resources on nuclear energy policy. We also have with us Tom Wallace, director general of the electricity resources branch at the Department of Natural Resources.
Welcome to both of you and thank you.
You know what the proceedings are, so there's no point in going over that.
Mr. Dupont, you were going to make an introductory statement. Please go right ahead.
