Colleagues, if you could take your places, we'll begin our second panel.
I have just a few comments for the benefit of witnesses. For those participating today by video conference, click on the microphone icon to activate your mic, and please mute yourself when you are not speaking. Also, at the bottom of your screen, you can select the appropriate channel for interpretation—floor, English or French. I remind you that all comments should be addressed through the chair.
I'd now like to welcome our witnesses on Zoom for the second panel. As an individual, we have Dr. Robert Froese, professor, Department of Renewable Resources, University of Alberta. From TorchLight Bioresources, Inc., we have Dr. Jamie Stephen, managing director. You will each have five minutes or less for your opening remarks.
Dr. Froese, you have the floor.
