Good morning, everybody.
Before we introduce our witnesses and get started today, I just want to acknowledge the tragic event of yesterday. We lost a colleague and a good friend. It's incredibly difficult to process this. For me, I know that you don't always get an opportunity to get to know everybody on the other side of the aisle, but in this case, I did. Gord Brown was a very decent, kind, and fair person and I know, personally, that I'm going to miss him and that everybody shares that sentiment. I just know he's in all of our thoughts today and will be for a long time. I know all of us feel the same way.
Now, we'll move on to business. We have two sets of witnesses today, who are familiar with the way things work around here. I see some familiar faces. Welcome, gentlemen.
For the first hour, we have the Canadian Gas Association and the Canadian Electricity Association. You know the process, I believe, but each group will be given up to 10 minutes to do their presentation and then we'll open the table to questions. You can do your presentation in French, English, or both and you can rest assured that you'll be asked questions in both.
You gentlemen on my left look like you're ready to go, so why don't we start with Paul or Tim.
