Order, please. We are reconvening our meeting.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are now commencing a study of infrastructure and smart communities. We have several witnesses with us today. From Hydro Ottawa, we have Charles Berndt, supervisor of smart grid technologies, and from the IBI Group, by video conference, we have Gary Andrishak, director. Thank you very much, Gary, for joining us.
As well, from the City of Mississauga, we have Shawn Slack, who is the director of information technology and chief information officer.
Welcome to all of you.
We will open it up. Mr. Slack, perhaps you would like to go first. You have five minutes for your opening remarks.
