Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
We are here for a pre-budget consultation. This is the 22nd meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance. We are in Toronto. Although I am not from this city, I want to welcome you all here.
Today, we will be meeting with representatives of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association, the Canada Company, the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association, Electric Mobility Canada, Spectra Energy and Financial Executives International Canada.
You'll each have five minutes to present your brief and then after that we'll have a round of questions from the members.
We'll start with Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association.
