Good morning, everybody. Welcome.
We have three witnesses for an hour and a half this morning. We are joined, through video conference, by Terry Young and Nik Schruder from the Independent Electricity System Operator. In the room with us is Mr. Brad White from SES Consulting; and at noon we will be joined by Bruce Rebel from the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers Canada, who was here before. He did his presentation and then we got interrupted, so he's coming back to answer questions only. At 12:30 we're going to deal with some committee business.
On that note, the format is that each of your groups, gentlemen, will be given up to 10 minutes to do your presentation, which you can do in French and/or English. I suspect you'll be asked questions in both official languages. If you need the translation devices, they are available to you. Once all of the presentations are complete, we'll open the floor to questions from around the table.
Mr. White, you're here. Why don't you start us off?
Mr. White, I understand, has a three-slide PowerPoint, which is in English only, but it will be translated after and circulated.
If everyone is okay with that, we'll proceed on that basis. Are there any objections?
No? Okay.
Mr. White, go ahead, please.
