I call the meeting to order.
Thank you very much, everyone, for your patience while we got organized. We had a subcommittee ahead of us, so it put us a little behind. I'm sorry about that.
I want to welcome our guests. I will introduce them in a minute, but I want to thank them personally and on behalf of the committee for being in front of us today. We have a very short timeline on this study. We are most thankful that you've taken the time to join us and in such a short time frame.
I'd like to introduce our guests. From Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, we have Mr. Duncan Hill, who is the manager of Housing Needs Research. From the Building Owners and Managers Association of Canada, we have Benjamin Shinewald, who is the president and chief executive officer. We have Randal Froebelius...did I say that correctly? You'll correct me if I'm wrong—
