I call the second part of the meeting to order, continuing our pre-budget consultations. We have with us another six organizations that are here for an hour and a half. We have first the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations. We have the Canadian Healthcare Association, the Canadian Teachers' Federation, the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association, the Directors Guild of Canada, and we have the Grain Growers of Canada.
I want to welcome you all here. You have up to five minutes for an opening statement, and then we will go to questions from the members of Parliament.
We'll start with the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations and work our way down.
