Good morning, everyone. We're waiting for the witnesses who are appearing by video conference to be connected, but because we're so short of time, we're going to start with the presentations of the witnesses who are here today.
I would like to thank all the witnesses. I see that some are just coming on by video conference now.
We have with us, from Matamec Explorations, André Gauthier, president and chief executive officer, and Michael Roche, marketing director, rare earths and specialty metals. Welcome to both of you.
We have with us, from Quest Rare Minerals, Peter Cashin, president and chief executive officer. Welcome to you.
The feed for the video conference is now in place.
From Paris, France, we have Al Shefsky, president, Pele Mountain Resources Inc. Welcome.
From Ames, Iowa, from the Critical Materials Institute, we have Alexander King, director. Welcome to you, sir.
Let's go ahead with the presentations, starting with Mr. Gauthier from Matamec Explorations Inc.
You have up to seven minutes. I do want to caution all of you that we're going to have to keep your presentations to seven minutes or we simply won't have enough time for even one round of questioning.
Go ahead, please, sir.
