I call the meeting back to order.
We have two groups before us this afternoon that I will introduce. We have the Public Affairs Association of Canada: Elaine Flis, who is the president; and Chris Benedetti, who is the past-president. We have the Canadian Council of Chief Executives: the executive vice-president, who is David Stewart-Patterson; and the vice-president, regulatory affairs, and general counsel, John Dillon.
The committee welcomes you and we look forward to your presentations. Each group will give a brief presentation, and if you've been sitting here, you have seen that there will be questions from each caucus. So thanks again. We look forward to hearing from you.
