Just for the record, pursuant to Standing Order 83.1, the topic we are here for is pre-budget consultations in advance of the 2018 budget.
I want to thank all the witnesses for coming, and also those who did provide a submission prior to the mid-August deadline. Thank you for that as well. You will see members looking at their iPads from time to time, and that is because, with new technology, all the briefs are up on the iPads. I do expect there is the odd issue that's happened between August 15 and now that some people might bring up.
We'll start with Ms. Watts-Rynard, from the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum.
