Good morning.
Welcome to the Standing Committee on Finance. It is our 20th meeting of this session. We're continuing with consultations on pre-budget 2011 for next year's budget of 2012.
We're very pleased to be here in Prince Rupert, British Columbia. We want to thank all of our witnesses for joining us here this morning.
We have four organizations presenting this morning. First of all, we have the Clean Energy Association of British Columbia. The Mining Association of Canada is second. Third, we have First Call: B.C. Child and Youth Advocacy Coalition. The fourth organization is the Prince Rupert Port Authority.
Thank you all for being here.
You each have up to five minutes for an opening statement, and we'll then have questions from members.
We'll begin with Mr. Kariya, please.
