Good morning, everyone. I call this meeting to order. This is the 18th meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance, and we are continuing our discussion regarding pre-budget consultations for 2011. We have seven organizations in this panel and two panels this morning.
First, we have the Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada; Canada's Research-Based Pharmaceutical Companies; the Canadian Taxpayers Federation; the Certified Management Accountants of Canada; the National Roundtable on Travel and Tourism; the Rick Hansen Foundation; and the Rideau Institute on International Affairs.
You each have a maximum of five minutes for an opening statement, and then we'll have members' questions.
We'll begin with Mr. Gazzard, please.
