Thank you very much, Mr. McGowan, for your presentation.
Mr. McGowan is the president of the Alberta Federation of Labour.
Just before we go to questions and comments, I want to note that yesterday, our third witness, Brendan Bell, who is chairman of the Northwest Territories Power Corporation, indicated that he wouldn't be here today. So we have the two groups of witnesses.
We'll start our questions and comments with Mr. Calkins, for up to seven minutes.
