I call this meeting back to order.
We are continuing with our study of the impact of low oil prices on the Canadian economy.
Colleagues, I understand that there will be a vote in the House in an hour, so I'm not exactly sure how we're going to proceed here. We'll do as much as we can before that vote and see whether we can come back.
First of all, from the Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association, we have the president, Mr. Flavio Volpe. Welcome.
From the Canadian Labour Congress, we have the senior economist, Ms. Angella MacEwen. Welcome back.
We have from the Forest Products Association of Canada, the executive vice-president, Ms. Catherine Cobden. Welcome back to the committee.
From the Canadian Steel Producers Association, we have the president, Mr. Ron Watkins. Welcome to you.
From Fort McMurray, we have the mayor of the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, Ms. Melissa Blake.
Melissa, can you hear me okay?
