Good morning, everybody. Thank you for joining us today.
We have a fresh start today as we begin our new study on the current state and future of national energy data. It is much talked about; there's great interest in this topic. We're starting with two very important sets of witnesses from the Department of Natural Resources and the National Energy Board.
Drew Leyburne, Laura Oleson, Jim Fox, and Abha Bhargava, thank you for joining us this morning. It's probably safe to assume that some or all of you have been here before, but I'll explain the rules just in case you need a refresher. Each set of witnesses has up to 10 minutes to make a presentation, which you are free to do in either official language. In fact, you're encouraged to do it in either official language. You will almost certainly be asked questions in French and English. Following the presentations by both sets of witnesses, we're going to open the table to questions by the members around the table.
Thank you for joining us and we'll get right into it since we're running a few minutes behind.
Ms. Oleson, you look like you're ready to go, so why don't we start with you.
