We'll reconvene. I want to thank the witnesses for coming, and some of you on short notice. There were some cancellations so I know some people didn't get a whole lot of notice to get here today. I certainly want to thank you for coming. For those who presented a brief prior to mid-August, we appreciate that as well. Those submissions are part of the pre-budget consultations and will be considered. Members have them on their iPads.
Before we go to the presentations with our four panellists rather than six—we'll have a little more time—I'll ask members to introduce themselves and where they're from just to give you a little perspective on how we criss-cross the country.
Mr. Boulerice, we could start with you. Do you want to introduce yourself?
