Good morning, everyone. Please take your places.
I call this meeting of the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities to order.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are going to continue our study of infrastructure and smart communities.
Today, we are pleased to welcome more witnesses. Martin Lessard, Managing Director of the Ville de Victoriaville will be joining us by videoconference from Victoriaville. Bruce Lazenby is Head of Business Development for the Regional Group of Companies and formerly Chief Executive Officer of Invest Ottawa. James MacKay is Vice President, Sales for MacKay Meters. Lastly, Guy Picard, Director General of the Société de transport de Laval, will be joining us by videoconference from Laval.
Welcome to all the witnesses.
One of the witnesses is running late, but we hope that he will be able to join us during our time for presentations.
Let us give the floor to the witnesses right away.
We will start with Mr. Lessard, if he is ready to go.
