Colleagues, I call the meeting to order for the second panel.
We're about to hear from our witnesses. On your behalf, let me welcome our guests on Zoom.
I will make a few comments for the benefit of the witnesses.
For those participating by video conference, and there are a number, 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. This is a reminder that all comments should be addressed through the chair.
We have with us this afternoon, from the PowerWood Corporation, Jake Power, managing director. We have Dr. Martin Luckert, professor emeritus, forest economics and policy, from the University of Alberta. We have Jeff Bromley, chair of the wood council, United Steelworkers.
Welcome, everyone. Thank you for being here. You will each have five minutes or less for your opening remarks.
We're going to start with you, Mr. Power. You have the floor for five minutes or less.
