This part of the meeting is the second session of our pre-budget consultation on this item, which is the impact of the appreciation of the relative value of the Canadian dollar.
We have with us now, from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Perrin Beatty.
We have a couple of witnesses who are coming. They're on their way. We'll start with you, and then I'll introduce the others as they come.
The floor is yours. We look forward to your presentation.
