Good afternoon, everyone.
We're back here at the natural resources committee to continue our study on innovation in the energy sector. We have a number of witnesses to appear over the next several meetings, because we did expand our witness list, and everyone wants to try to get in as many witnesses as possible.
Today we have four witnesses with us, two in person and two by video conference.
We have, from the Canadian Gas Association, Timothy Egan, president and chief executive officer. Welcome to you.
We have, from Enerkem, Marie-Hélène Labrie, vice-president, government affairs and communications. Welcome to you again. You were here a few years ago.
We have, by video conference from Calgary, Alberta, from ENMAX Corporation, Robert Hemstock, executive vice-president, regulatory and legal services. Welcome to you, sir.
By video conference from Washington, D.C., from the Energy Recovery Council, we have Ted Michaels, president. Welcome to you, Mr. Michaels.
We'll have the presentations in the order your name appears on the agenda today, so we'll start with Mr. Egan, for up to seven minutes.
Go ahead, please, sir.
