Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses for their testimony on this interesting and quite complex topic.
I want to kick off by picking up on what Mr. Buhagiar was saying.
At one point in your testimony, you were playing with a metaphor involving a symphony and you said that when the supply chain is working, it's this complex symphony and all of these parts are working in unison. We're at a point now where those parts need tuning. I was thinking about the aptness of that metaphor but also about the problem being that the concert house is on fire, so we can tune all the parts but we have this larger existential issue of the global climate predicament.
Could you talk about your views on the long-term implications of global climate change, especially what some of the models are predicting for our country and the implications for that finely tuned symphony that you described in your testimony?
