I call this meeting back to order.
I ask all witnesses to take their seats, and important people like Richard Dunn to take their seats as well.
We are going to resume our 80th meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance for our second panel today on pre-budget consultations. We have another six organizations presenting on this panel, whose names I will read in order of presentation.
We have the Alberta Chambers of Commerce, the Canadian Convenience Stores Association, the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions, the Canadian Steel Producers Association, the Canadian Union of Public Employees, and McGill University.
You each have five minutes, maximum, for your opening statement, and then we'll have questions from members of the committee.
We'll start with Mr. Severin, please.
