I call this meeting to order.
This is the 80th meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance. Our orders of the day are pursuant to Standing Order 83.1; we are continuing our pre-budget consultations for 2012. I want to thank all our witnesses for being here today.
We have two panels. In the first panel, six organizations are presenting. First of all, we have the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers. Second is Canadian Doctors for Medicare. Then we have the Public Service Alliance of Canada.
We will hear the representative of the Regroupement des jeunes chambres de commerce du Québec, and then the representative of the Société de transport de Montréal.
Finally, we have the University of Saskatchewan.
You will each have five minutes for your opening statement, and then we will have questions for members. We will begin with the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers.
