Good morning, colleagues. Let me call this meeting to order.
I hope everyone had a good constituency week.
Let me start, as we always do, by acknowledging that we are on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinabe nation.
Welcome to meeting number 26 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Natural Resources.
Before we begin, I'd like to take a moment to clarify something with the committee. A meeting was initially called for yesterday to deal with the travel budget for the Sweden and Finland trip and have the committee adopt it in time to be considered at the next SBLI meeting, otherwise known as the budgets subcommittee, which was scheduled for tomorrow. That meeting has been moved to March 25. That gives us time to adopt the budget in the appropriate time frame, and it's likely, colleagues, we'll be dealing with that on Thursday.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format. I'd like to remind participants of the following points. Before speaking, please wait for me to recognize you. There are folks who are going to be coming in by video conference in the second hour, so we'll give them those instructions when that time comes.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted Thursday, September 18, 2025, the committee shall resume its study of the management of Canadian energy exports.
I would now like to welcome our witnesses and apologize for the delay. We had a vote that took us a little bit of time.
