Our presentation today, which you should have in front of you, will outline our experience of leveraging innovation. For the focus of your study, we'll provide some commentary on the current federal clean technology innovation policy system as well as on the opportunities that this government has to accelerate innovation within our industry.
The first slide shows a bit about our company. We're an Alberta company that uses Canadian drilling technologies to sustainably produce in the oil sands. We believe that growing the economy and strong environmental performance go hand in hand, and since our first day of production in 2007 we have worked to ensure that our environmental performance is best in class. MEG Energy's current production level is about 82,000 barrels per day.
I'll ask Lyle to walk you through the in situ production process at a very high level and then detail where we're leveraged and invested in clean technology innovation. We will speak to clean technology as the committee has defined it: as more resource-efficient than equivalent products or processes that don't necessarily have a primary use of environmental protection.
