We'd like to call the meeting to order. We want to thank our witnesses for coming forward. This is pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), a continuation of a study on the structure of Canada's federal revenue-raising system.
We have with us, from Financial Executives International Canada, Barry Gorman, chair, as well as Michael Conway, chief executive and national president.
We want to thank you, and we're going to yield you the floor, but before we do that I'll introduce the others.
Neil Brooks is here from York University.
From the OECD, by video conference, we have Christopher Heady.
With that, we want to welcome you again to the committee.
We'll yield the floor to Mr. Conway first. We're very interested in what you have to present to the committee. The floor is yours, sir.
