We'll come to order and welcome the second panel here in Edmonton for the pre-budget consultations for the 2019 budget. Welcome.
For those who did present submissions prior to August 15, they are on people's iPads or computers or units, and they'll certainly be referring to them every once in a while. All the evidence today and the submissions will be considered as part of our work on recommendations.
Before I start, I'll just ask our committee members to introduce themselves so you know where we come from and what region we represent.
I'm Wayne Easter, a member of Parliament from the riding of Malpeque in Prince Edward Island. I'm a member on the government's side.
Peter, do you want to start?
