I call the meeting to order. Welcome to meeting number 34 of the Standing Committee on Natural Resources.
Thank you to everybody for not just being on time, but early. We can get under way.
We have four witnesses joining us today: Clean Energy Canada, represented by Dr. Mark Zacharias; Navius Research Inc., represented by Michael Wolinetz; S&T Squared Consultants Inc., represented by Don O'Connor; and the Pembina Institute, represented by Bora Plumptre.
Of course, we have Mr. Longfield appearing today, replacing Mr. Serré.
Mr. Longfield, thank you for joining us today.
A special thanks to all of our witnesses. Some of you might have done this before, but in case you haven't, the process is that each witness group will be given up to five minutes, with an emphasis on “up to”, to make opening remarks. After all of the witnesses have finished their opening remarks, I'll turn the floor over to committee members who will then be asking questions.
You have all tested your headsets and your sound devices. You have translation services available to you. You're encouraged and welcome to speak in either official language. You will be asked questions in both languages.
On that note, thank you again for coming.
I'll start with Clean Energy Canada. Dr. Zacharias.
