Thank you. That concludes our committee business.
Now we'll get into our first panel on our study of the emissions reduction fund—onshore program.
For our first panel, we have the Office of the Auditor General. Joining us remotely, we have Jerry DeMarco, commissioner of the environment and sustainable development. Welcome, Commissioner.
We also have James McKenzie, principal, and Sylvie Marchand, director.
As we get into both panels I'm going to try a timekeeping trick I have seen on the Hill. I have a timer, and when we get to the last 30 seconds, I'll give you the yellow flash. When time has run out, I'll just hold up the red card and ask you to wrap up your thoughts. You don't have to cut off mid-sentence, but we'll get into the questions then. I'll do the same for the presenters.
In our first and second panels, witnesses will each have five minutes for opening statements. I'll give you the 30-second warning and the cut-off time. When we get into rounds of questions, I'll do the same.
With that, we will now turn it over to the commissioner of the environment and his colleagues to start with their five-minute opening statement, and then we'll move into our first round of questions and answers.
Thank you.
