Good afternoon, everyone.
It's great to be back and to have our committee sitting again.
I know you all took time with your constituents. I hope you also took some time with your family and friends and got a little downtime so you're ready to go and refreshed for this session.
We are starting today by continuing our study of innovation in the energy sector. We're having our second-last meeting on the supply side of that study, and we'll go on to the other two sections later.
We have with us today four groups of witnesses.
We have from Sustainable Development Technology Canada, Rick Whittaker, vice-president, investments and chief technology officer. Welcome.
We have Sailesh Thaker, vice-president, industry and stakeholder relations. Welcome to you.
We have from the Canadian Wind Energy Association, Tom Levy, manager, technical and utility affairs. Welcome.
We have, by video conference from Calgary, Alberta, from Suncor Energy Inc., Bradley Wamboldt, general manager, supply chain management operations, business services. Welcome to you, sir, Mr. Wamboldt.
We have from Edmonton, by videoconference, as an individual, Dr. Murray Gray, director and professor at the Centre for Oil Sands Innovation at the University of Alberta. Welcome to you again, sir. It's good to have you back at our committee.
We will go to the presentations. You have up to seven minutes. It's in the order the witnesses are listed on the agenda. Then we'll go to questions and comments from members.
We'll start with Mr. Whittaker and Mr. Thaker from Sustainable Development Technology Canada. Go ahead, as you wish, with your presentation.
