We are back. We'll continue with our pre-budget consultations. We welcome our guests, our witnesses, for this afternoon. Thank you very much for taking the time to be with our committee. As you know, we have limited time to devote to each presentation because of the large number of presentations we are hearing, but we do thank you for submitting your briefs, which you did forward to us earlier. I would remind you that we have five minutes only for presentations, of course, to allow time for questions and exchange with committee members.
I will give you a visual indication when you have a minute remaining--or less. I encourage you to observe these little hand cues. I will cut you off at five minutes, of course.
Thank you all for being here. We will begin with the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers. Marie Lemay, welcome, and proceed. Five minutes are for you.
