Honourable colleagues, this meeting has now resumed. To the second half of our meeting, we are overjoyed to welcome the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities, the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc. He is joined by the following departmental officials: Kelly Gillis, deputy minister, infrastructure and communities; Alison O'Leary, senior assistant deputy minister, communities and infrastructure programs; and Glenn Campbell, assistant deputy minister, investment, partnerships and innovation.
Minister, it is a pleasure to welcome you and your team before the committee for the first time in person in quite some time. Before I turn it over to you for your opening remarks, I believe Mr. Badawey has a quick motion to get out of the way.
