Good morning, everyone. We are here today, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), to start a study on the status of the emergency response to offshore oil and gas drilling and the adequacy of the current regulatory regime.
We have two panels today. The first panel is scheduled for about 45 minutes. Then we have a larger panel for the last hour and a quarter. We'll start right away so that we give the maximum amount of time to the members for questions and answers.
From the National Energy Board we have Gaétan Caron, chair and chief executive officer, and Bharat Dixit, team leader, conservation of resources.
Welcome, gentlemen. Go ahead with your presentations, which will be somewhere around eight minutes, I hope. Then we'll get directly to the questions and comments.
Go ahead, please.
