I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting 111 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. I would like to remind participants about 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 use two cards for the folks online and in the room. Yellow is a 30-second warning, and red means your time is up. I will not interrupt you mid-sentence so that you can finish your thought.
I'd like to welcome our witnesses for today's study.
From the Business Council of Alberta, we have Adam Legge, president, by video conference. From the Calgary Chamber of Commerce, we have Deborah Yedlin, president and chief executive officer, by video conference. From Canada's Building Trades Unions, we have Sean Strickland, executive director, by video conference.
You will have up to five minutes for opening remarks, after which we will proceed to rounds of questions.
We will begin with our first five-minute opening statement. It's by Adam Legge from the Business Council of Alberta.
Mr. Legge, the floor is yours.
