Thank you very much, Kevin.
I don't believe there's anybody else here for the open-mike session. I believe we have all of our witnesses here as well.
We'll turn the floor over to Derek in a minute, but first I want to say welcome to the witnesses. Thank you to any of the groups who put in a submission prior to mid-August. Although we are not dealing extensively with those submissions here, other than the remarks that are made, they are on people's iPads. You'll see them refer to them once in a while. The official submissions are being considered as part of pre-budget consultation as well.
I know that Mr. Butler has to leave at 10 o'clock, so if people have any questions in mind for Mr. Butler, you'll need to get those in pretty quickly.
Usually when we're on the road, I like to have members introduce themselves so that you have an idea of where they're from and of the kind of cross-country representation that's here.
I'm Wayne Easter. I'm the member from Malpeque, Prince Edward Island—the other island, not quite as big as this one.
Raj, do you want to start?
