I call this meeting back to order. This is the 77th meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance. We are resuming our pre-budget consultations.
I want to thank the witnesses very much for their patience in waiting for the votes to be finished. I have a number of colleagues who wish to ask questions. If any of you would combine your time, I think the witnesses and others would see that as very appreciated, but obviously we will go in the order that I have here. I understand we are starting with Mr. Adler.
Mr. Adler, this is your round.
