I call the meeting to order.
We have two panels today. We'll start with a presentation by Christopher Smillie, senior advisor for government relations in the building and construction trades department of the AFL-CIO. We also have representatives from the Canadian Electricity Association: Francis Bradley, and Michelle Branigan.
We will be pleased to hear from you on the topic we're studying. Then there will be some questions and answers from each of the parties.
Christopher, go ahead.
