I call the meeting to order.
Welcome to the witnesses. Thank you for coming.
As you know, we're continuing our pre-budget consultations in advance of the 2019 budget. I want to thank everyone who put in a submission prior to August 15. We look forward to your remarks this morning. All these submissions are on our iPads so people will be referring to those from time to time.
To start, here is a former colleague, Sergio Marchi, with the Canadian Electrical Association. Welcome, Sergio.
