I call this meeting back to order. This is meeting number three of the Standing Committee on Finance. We are continuing our consultations for pre-budget 2013.
We are pleased to have another panel with us here for the second part of this meeting. First of all, as an individual, we have professor and researcher, Monsieur Luc Godbout.
Welcome.
We also have Mr. David Macdonald, a senior economist from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives; Madame Carole Presseault, the vice-president of the Certified General Accountants Association of Canada; Mr. Richard Monk, an advisor with the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada, and we welcome Mr. Kevin Page back to the committee in his new role at the University of Ottawa.
We have by teleconference from British Columbia, Kitimat Clean Ltd. —and I hope, Mr. Black, you can hear me.
