I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 37 of the Standing Committee on Science and Research. We are meeting today to have a briefing session with the president of the Canadian Space Agency.
Please wait until I recognize you by name before speaking. For those on Zoom, at the bottom of your screen you can select the appropriate channel for interpretation—floor, English or French.
I would like to remind witnesses that committee members may ask questions in either French or English. If you will need interpretation, please take a moment to prepare your earpiece and select, in advance, the listening channel you need to take full advantage of the time allotted for the questions and answers.
I would remind you that all comments should be addressed through the chair.
With that, I would like to welcome our witnesses for today from the Canadian Space Agency. We are joined by Ms. Campbell, the president. We also have Dr. Piedboeuf, senior vice-president, space programs. We are also joined by Stéphanie Durand, vice-president, policy, communications and strategic planning, and Josée Saint-Marseille, acting vice-president, corporate strategy and innovation, and chief financial officer.
Ms. Campbell, welcome. You will have five minutes for your opening remarks. We will then get into the rounds of questions.
Thank you for coming before the committee today. Please go ahead.
