We'll keep an eye out. Mr. Chahal is trying to join us.
This is the first hearing on the study on creating a fair and equitable Canadian energy transformation.
For our panel today, we have the remainder of the time until 5:30.
From the Department of Employment and Social Development, we have Andrew Brown, senior assistant deputy minister, skills and employment branch; and Chris Bates, director general, apprenticeship and sectoral initiatives directorate. From the Department of Natural Resources, we have Debbie Scharf, associate assistant deputy minister, energy systems sector; Roisin Reid, director, energy and environment policy division; and Jasmine Redenbach, acting manager, energy and environment policy division.
Thank you to each of you. I assume that each of the departments will take one five-minute opening slot, and then we'll get right into our questions and answers.
From the Department of Employment and Social Development, who is going to do the five-minute opening statement?
