I call this meeting to order. This is the 82nd meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance.
I apologize to our guests. There was a delay in the House that meant we couldn't start the meeting exactly on time.
Pursuant to Standing Order 83.1, we are continuing our pre-budget consultations for 2012. We have with us in this panel five organizations: the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations; the Canadian Association of Oilwell Drilling Contractors; the Investment Industry Association of Canada; the Portfolio Management Association of Canada; and the Rideau Institute.
You each have five minutes for your opening statement. We will start with Mr. Dayler and we'll work our way down the row. Then we'll have questions from members.
