I call this meeting to order.
This is the 25th meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the study of economic and fiscal outlook.
We're very pleased to have the Parliamentary Budget Officer with us here today, Mr. Kevin Page, and officials from his office.
Mr. Page, welcome back for your at least biannual report to this committee. We look forward to your comments, and I know members are anxious to ask you questions.
If you would introduce your officials to the committee and then make your opening statement, we'd appreciate that very much.
