Good morning, everyone.
We're here today, of course, to continue our study on energy security in Canada, including looking at what the federal role may be in unconventional oil and gas development, such as deep-water offshore drilling, shale gas exploration, and oil sands development; regional economic impacts of oil and gas development; and the National Energy Board's role in the development and export of unconventional resources. So we're continuing our study on that.
We have two panels today, the first from eleven until noon, and the second from noon until one.
On the first panel, from Edmonton, Alberta, by video conference we have, from the Oil Sands Developers Group, Don Thompson, president. Welcome, Mr. Thompson.
