Copies of the opening statement to be made by Mr. Doyle have been supplied . The statement contains a significant amount of good information, although members were already aware of much of it. I ask our guests to concentrate on assisting us by outlining what needs to happen.

We need action items and paths to getting there. This is about the tough questions we will have to answer in terms of the recommendations we make from here on.

In the context of taking us back through everything that has happened, we know all that. To make use of the time, we can take a lot of what has been provided as read except any new information and detail on how we will close the gap on the transportation side in respect of emissions. If the witnesses are not prepared for that, I suggest they leave it and return on another day. We have a tight slot and are trying to get through things. We do not want to spend a lot of time rehashing where matters stand.
