Colleagues, I will call this meeting back to order. I know that it's a long meeting today, but I hope you're going to get used to it, because this is what the rest of the fall will be like.
We're very pleased to have with us here today, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) in terms of the study of the economic and fiscal outlook, the new Parliamentary Budget Officer.
Mr. Fréchette, welcome to the committee.
It is your first time before the committee. We welcome you.
I know that we're seeing some members who we've seen before, so if I could have you present your colleagues at the table and then give an opening presentation, we'll have questions from members after that.
