Yes, that's correct.
Before we begin, and as always, we would like to thank the committee, the chair and the clerk for their assistance.
Thank you for the invitation to be here. This makes two times in two weeks for the Canada West Foundation to be in Ottawa testifying before Parliament on issues of great importance, obviously to Canada, but also to the west.
This is where our testimony will focus today. If we had 30 minutes to go it alone, we would stay with the high-level discussions, but we'd like to bring the testimony down to some concrete elements about our engagement.
I trust too, Mr. Chair, that since we're the only institutional speaker today we can get an extra 15 to 20 seconds to describe our institution.
