Colleagues, thank you so much for your patience in getting everyone on board.
We're going to start with our second panel. We're running a few minutes late, but we'll do our best, and I'll do my best to get you caught up.
Today we have three different organizations presenting. From the Competition Bureau of Canada, we have Ann Salvatore, the deputy commissioner for the cartels directorate. We also have Anthony Durocher, the deputy commissioner of the competition and promotion branch. We have Krista McWhinnie, deputy commissioner of the monopolistic practices directorate.
Welcome to all three of you here in the room.
From Innovation, Science and Economic Development, we have Mark Schaan, senior assistant deputy minister, strategic and innovation policy sector.
From Statistics Canada, joining us via video conference this evening, we have Chris Li, who is the acting director of the consumer prices division, and Matthew MacDonald, assistant director of the consumer prices division.
Welcome to you online, so to speak.
Each organization is going to have up to five minutes for opening remarks. I'm going to start with the Competition Bureau.
The floor is yours.
