I will call this meeting back to order, and I encourage colleagues to find their seats, please.
We are continuing our discussion of pre-budget consultations 2012, pursuant to Standing Order 83.1. This is the 92nd meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance. This is our second panel today.
We have five organizations presenting: first of all, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada; second, the Canadian Climate Forum; third, we have the Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research; fourth, the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association; and fifth, we have the Retail Council of Canada.
You each have five minutes for your opening statement.
We will begin with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada and work our way down the line.
Please begin.
