Order.
Witnesses, welcome, and thank you for being here.
Committee members, welcome back to the arduous and important task of preparing recommendations for this coming budget.
Witnesses, you've been gracious enough to submit briefs to us and to prepare short opening presentations. I would remind you that you'll be held to five minutes. I will give you an indication when you have one minute remaining--if you choose to look here--or less, all in an effort to make sure that the committee members get a chance to pepper you with questions.
We will commence with Barry Blake from ACTRA. Welcome, sir. Take it away.
