I will call this meeting to order.
Thank you, Madam Clerk. I also thank all of our members and our witnesses today.
I have a few housekeeping items before we jump in.
This is meeting number 27 of the Standing Committee on Natural Resources. Many if not all of you have been here before, but I'm not sure you've appeared before this committee in a virtual setting, so things are a little different. We all have headsets, which serve the dual purpose of helping those of us with really long hair and helping us to communicate with each other.
Because it's a virtual setting, I would ask everybody to be patient. Make sure the person who you are communicating with at the time finishes speaking before you start speaking. Doing that helps the interpreters. On that point, I would encourage everybody to speak in either or both official languages. There is an interpretation button at the bottom of your screen.
We'll start with opening remarks for up to five minutes for each group, with the emphasis on “up to”. I will have to interrupt people from time to time if we are going over time. Then we will get into questions after all the panel groups have finished making their opening remarks.
We have the Canadian Biogas Association, the Canadian Gas Association, the Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association, H2 V Énergies Inc., Hydrogen In Motion Inc., and Unilia Canada Fuel Cells Inc.
Thank you for joining us.
We will proceed in that order, starting with Jennifer Green, executive director of Canadian Biogas Association.
You have five minutes. The floor is yours.
