Okay. We'll put the vote on the amendment to insert “other energy executives” in the invitation.
(Amendment agreed to)
(Motion as amended agreed to)
When we get back to committee business, we can look at where we want to insert that into the agenda and at putting out the witness lists and all of those types of details. Thank you, members.
Thank you to our witnesses for their patience.
That having been dealt with, I'd like to welcome our witnesses from the four departments. Please correct me if I get any of your names wrong, which I inevitably will.
From the Department of Industry, we have Patrick Hum, acting director general, clean technology and clean growth. From the Department of the Environment, we welcome back Mr. Moffet, assistant deputy minister, environmental protection branch. From the Department of Finance—there are some familiar faces here as well—we have Miodrag Jovanovic, assistant deputy minister, tax policy branch; Greg Reade, assistant deputy minister, Crown investment and asset management branch; and Nelson Paterson, director general, economic studies and policy analysis division, economic policy branch. Last, from Natural Resources, we welcome back Frank Des Rosiers, assistant deputy minister, strategic policy and innovation.
I believe each department has a five-minute opening statement, so we'll go to those immediately. Does anybody want to go first?
Monsieur Des Rosiers, feel free. I have the clock here somewhere, I'll give you a signal when the five minutes are up and then we'll move on to the next person. Over to you. The floor is yours for five minutes.
