I call this meeting back to order. I want to thank our witnesses for appearing on very short notice. The committee appreciates that very much. With respect to our study of Bill S-17, we have five witnesses before us.
We have Brigitte Alepin. Welcome again.
We have Professor Arthur Cockfield from Queens University.
From the organization Canadians for Tax Fairness, we have Mr. Dennis Howlett. Welcome back.
By video conference from Washington, D.C., we have Mr. David Rosenbloom.
Mr. Rosenbloom can you hear me okay?
