I call the meeting to order. I'm Shannon Stubbs, serving as chair today. Good afternoon.
I apologize to our witnesses for the late start.
As everyone knows, we will have three witnesses today over the course of the meeting: Patrick Bateman from the Canadian Solar Industries Association; Bryson Robertson from the Institute of Integrated Energy Systems at the University of Victoria; and via video conference, Malcolm Metcalfe from Enbala Power Networks.
Each of you will have seven minutes to make opening statements, and then we'll move into questioning. Members, as we go around the table, will have a round of seven minutes for questions and then, if we get time, a second round of five minutes.
Let's begin with Patrick Bateman.
