I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 27 of the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, the committee is commencing its study of the loan from the Canada Infrastructure Bank to the Mersey River wind project.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the Standing Orders. I'd like to make a few comments for the benefit of witnesses and members.
First, 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. For those in the room, you can use the earpiece and select the desired channel.
This is a reminder that all comments should be addressed through the chair.
For members in the room, if you wish to speak, please raise your hand. For members on Zoom, please use the “raise hand” function. The clerk and I will manage the speaking order as best we can. We appreciate your patience and understanding in this regard.
Colleagues, before I welcome the witnesses for the first half of today's meeting, I would like to bring to your attention the budget for this study that was circulated to all members. It's moved by Mr. Albas. Are we all in favour of adopting the budget?
