Thank you.
This is now the fourth panel here on meeting number 43 of the Standing Committee on Finance with respect to our pre-budget consultations.
We have with us, for the final panel, seven organizations. I will list them in order of presentation.
First of all, we have the Coalition of Child Care Advocates of British Columbia; second, the Pacific Community Resources Society; third, the Certified General Accountants Association of Canada; fourth, the Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association of Canada; fifth, the Union of Environmental Workers; sixth, the Coalition for Canadian Astronomy; seventh, the Heritage Vancouver Society. We actually have eight; there's also the Association of Canadian Publishers.
We have a lot of groups today, and we have up to five minutes maximum for opening statements; then we'll go immediately to questions from members.
Could we start with the coalition, please?
