First of all, welcome to our guests today. We look forward very much to your presentations this morning. Thank you for the time you've taken to be here with us and the time you've taken to prepare your briefs, which we have. I understand some of them are in translation; nonetheless, we will be reviewing them.
I know you're aware of the process, but just for the sake of review, we are the finance committee of the House of Commons. We've been charged with the responsibility of hearing briefs and receiving input, which we can then provide and forward to the Minister of Finance prior to the next budget.
It's an exciting process. This week we've spent about twenty hours in airplanes, so if you see a couple of beleaguered members of our committee coming in here a titch late, apologies in advance, but they will be reviewing the material.
The presentations, as you know, are limited to five minutes. I will give you an indication when you have one minute remaining and will cut you off at five minutes, in the interests of an exchange thereafter with committee members.
Let's begin. We'll start with the Regina Airport Authority, and Rob Slinger. Welcome. Five minutes to you, sir.
