I call this meeting to order. This is the 78th meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance. We're continuing our pre-budget consultations for 2012.
In the first panel—and we have two panels today—we have four organizations from 3:30 to 5 p.m. First of all, we have the Canadian Natural Gas Vehicle Alliance; secondly, the Grain Farmers of Ontario; thirdly, the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada; and we also have the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada.
Welcome to all of you. Thank you for being with us here today. You each have five minutes for your opening statement, and then we'll have questions from members.
We will start with the Canadian Natural Gas Vehicle Alliance, please.
