I invite witnesses to get comfortable and I encourage committee members to return to their seats.
The Standing Committee on Finance will continue its deliberations on the pre-budget consultation process.
We welcome and thank our witnesses for being here. I'll apologize on behalf of committee members as we continue to partake of our lunch while the process continues. But understand that we can multi-task, so we will be listening.
We will begin this round with a representative from the Canadian Trucking Alliance, Mr. Bradley, if you'd like to proceed.
You have no more than five minutes, ladies and gentlemen.
