Good afternoon, everybody. Happy Wednesday. Thank you for joining us.
We have two witnesses for the first hour, and then in the second hour we'll be going in camera for some brief committee business.
We are joined this afternoon from S&C Electric by Benoit Marcoux, who is here in the room, and by video conference by François Vitez, chair of the federal initiatives committee of Energy Storage Canada.
Thank you both for being here. Each of you will be given up to 10 minutes to make your presentation. Following both your presentations, we will open the floor to questions from the members around the table. You're welcome and encouraged to make your comments in French or English. Translation services are available if you need them.
On that note, I will turn it over to Mr. Marcoux.
