Good afternoon, everyone. We're here today, once again, to continue our study of resource development in northern Canada. We have a full panel of witnesses here today. We're probably going to have an abbreviated session, so we'll get right to the presentations.
From Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited, we have Eberhard Scherkus, who is the president and chief operating officer. From Newmont Mining Corporation, we have Chris Hanks, who is the vice-president of environmental affairs at Hope Bay Mining Ltd, and also Tara Christie, who is the senior adviser of external and governmental affairs at Hope Bay Mining Ltd. From the NWT and Nunavut Chamber of Mines, we have Tom Hoefer, who is the executive director, Larry Connell, the vice-president, and Brent Murphy, the director. From the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami—Mary Simon isn't here today—we have John Cheechoo, the director, and John Merritt, the senior policy adviser.
Welcome to all of you. We will start the presentations and go through them in the order they appear on the agenda, starting with Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited.
Go ahead with your presentation, please.
