Order, please. We are going to start our 19th meeting right away.
As today's agenda indicates, we will hear from two witnesses. The first is here in the room with us. Mr. Pineau is the Chief Executive Officer of the Canadian Institute of Forestry. Also joining us today by videoconference is Mr. Mallett, who is the Chief Economist and Vice-President of Research with the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.
These two guests will of course be giving evidence in the context of our study on the government's open data practices.
As usual, each witness will have 10 minutes to give their presentation. The committee members will then be able to ask questions.
Mr. Pineau, you have the floor. You have 10 minutes.
Thank you for your presence.
