I call this meeting to order, the 60th meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance.
Our committee is continuing our pre-budget consultations. We have two panels from 3:30 to 6:30, panels of an hour and a half each. We have eight organizations in this panel. I'll read them in order of presentation. We have the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, the Philanthropic Foundations Canada, the Association of Canadian Community Colleges, the Canadian Caregiver Coalition, the Canadian Federation of Students (Newfoundland and Labrador), Barrett Xplore, the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, and Action Canada for Population and Development. So we have a lot of organizations in quite a short time period.
I will ask each of you to have an opening statement for a maximum of five minutes. We'll go down the line and then we'll go to questions from members.
We'll start with the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers.
