I call this meeting to order.
This is the 15th meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance in this session. We are continuing our discussions surrounding pre-budget consultation for 2011. We are very pleased to be here in Windsor, home of the Spitfires and the number one draft pick for the Edmonton Oilers last year.
We are very pleased to have two panels here this morning. In our first panel we have six organizations. We have the Canadian Natural Gas Vehicle Alliance, Spirits Canada, the Association of Equipment Manufacturers, Encana Corporation, the Canadian Shipowners Association, and the Canadian Solar Industries Association.
Welcome to all of you. Thank you very much for being with us this morning.
You will each have up to a maximum of five minutes for an opening statement. After the final presentation, we have questions from all members of the committee.
We will start with Ms. Milner's presentation, please.
