Good evening, everyone.
This is our subcommittee on the auto sector. We're studying the challenges facing the auto sector in Canada, and we'll report our findings and recommendations back to the House of Commons by the end of this month of March.
Our first panel today will be from the Ford Motor Company of Canada. We have Mr. David Mondragon, president and chief executive officer; Madame Caroline Hughes, director, government relations; and Mr. James Rowland, manager, government relations.
Thank you very much for appearing, and welcome to our committee.
Without further ado, we'll have the panellists begin with about a 10-minute introduction and then we'll proceed to comments and questions from our members.
Go ahead.
