I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting 104 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Natural Resources.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Thursday, June 6, 2024, the committee is resuming its study of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format. All witnesses have completed the required connection tests in advance of the meeting.
I remind participants of the following points. Please wait until I recognize you by name before speaking. All comments should be addressed through the chair. Members, please raise your hand if you wish to speak, whether participating in person or via Zoom. The clerk and I will manage the speaking order as best we can.
I welcome our witnesses with us today: Dr. Kent Fellows, assistant professor, University of Calgary, via video conference; Dwight Newman, professor of law, University of Saskatchewan, by video conference; and from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, by video conference, Marc Lee, senior economist. We'll give you up to five minutes for opening remarks, after which we will proceed with our rounds of questions.
I also welcome Ms. May and Mr. Garon to our committee today.
Before we begin, it looks like we have a point of order from Mr. Angus.
