If we could get started, I would let the committee know that Mr. Glen Murray is stuck in Calgary, probably much like all of us were on Sunday. We got to sit in an airplane and in Vancouver. Because of this global warming, it's minus forty degrees and snowing heavily. Anyway, Mr. Murray will not be joining us today, but I'd like to welcome our other witnesses who are here.
Just to review the procedure for you, each of you has ten minutes, and then our committee members will have the opportunity in a ten-minute round and then a five-minute round.
We'll begin with the Canadian Council of Chief Executives, and you, Mr. Dillon. Welcome.
