Yes. This gives information to the committee on that.
Today we want to begin with the pre-budget consultation exercise. The theme we have for this meeting is the rise of the Canadian dollar; we'll use that as a theme. For the subsequent week, the theme will be the tax system.
With that, we'd like to introduce our witnesses.
In the first session we have the Association of International Automobile Manufacturers of Canada....
I think what I'll do is just go through your titles; then as we give you the floor we'll introduce you individually.
There's the Canadian Auto Workers Union, the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters, Cascades Paper Products, TD Bank Financial Group, and Toyota Canada Inc. Those are the ones in the first session.
We will yield the floor to you in order. I will give you five minutes to make your presentation, and then we will leave time for questions and answers after we hear from all of you.
We'll start with David C. Adams, president of the Association of International Automobile Manufacturers of Canada.
The floor is yours.
