Welcome, colleagues. Let me call this meeting to order.
I will start, as we always do, by acknowledging that we are meeting on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinabe nation.
Welcome to meeting number 33 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Natural Resources. Today's meeting is taking place in hybrid format.
Let me make the following points.
Before speaking, please wait until I recognize you. For those participating by video conference, click on the microphone icon to activate your mic, and please mute yourself when you are not speaking. For those on Zoom, at the bottom of your screen, you can select the appropriate channel for interpretation—floor, English or French. For those in the room, you can use the earpiece and select the desired channel. I remind you that all comments should be addressed through the chair.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted on Thursday, September 18, 2025, the committee shall resume its study of Canadian energy exports.
On your behalf, I'd like to welcome our witnesses.
From Export Development Canada, we have Alison Nankivell, president and chief executive officer, and Guillermo Freire, senior vice-president, mid-market group. From LNG Canada, we have Chris Cooper, president and chief executive officer. He is here virtually.
All virtual witnesses today—we have some on the next panel—have been given their mandatory onboarding test, and they have passed with flying colours.
Our presenters will now have five minutes each for their opening remarks, after which we will open the floor to questions and comments from members of Parliament.
Ms. Nankivell, you have the floor for five minutes.
