We'll call the meeting to order.
As all the official witnesses know, we are doing consultations in advance of the 2018 budget. The ones who are at the table may not realize that we have a 15-minute open-mike session. This gives anybody who wants it the opportunity to make a one-minute statement on their views for the budget, or their concerns, or whatever. That goes into the record and is, in fact, considered.
We will start with that, but first, committee members might want to introduce themselves and say where they're from. Pat, this is your city, so we'll start with you and go around the table.
Mr. Kelly.
