Anyway, I have an official piece here, and then we'll get right into it, if everybody's willing.
The committee meeting today is to hear from the Minister of Natural Resources and officials. We have nine officials joining us remotely, so thank you to each of the departmental representatives who are here with us.
Pursuant to Standing Order 81(4), we're considering the main estimates 2022-23, vote 1 under Atomic Energy of Canada Limited; vote 1 under Canadian Energy Regulator; vote 1 under Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission; votes 1, 5 and 10 under Department of Natural Resources; and vote 1 under Northern Pipeline Agency.
We are all well aware of committee proceedings and processes, so I'm going to skip through all that stuff. If you're at the table, you can take your mask off. If you're not, please wear it unless actively eating or drinking. Direct your comments through the chair.
We're going to try to get through a couple of rounds. The minister has a hard departure time of six p.m. The officials have said they can stay beyond that if necessary.
Members, we have three hours from the time we started but not beyond nine o'clock. The plan is to go through the main estimates. There's a motion after that we need to discuss about reporting the main estimates back to the House. The intent, then, is to go in camera to, hopefully, get as far into or even finish the emissions reduction fund this evening. That's the lay of the land.
With that, Minister, if you're ready to go, I will turn the clock over to you. You have five minutes for your opening statement. Then we'll get into the first round of four questions of six minutes each, and we'll see where we are at that point.
I'll turn it over to you, Minister. I look forward to your opening comments.
