Thank you all.
Before we begin, we do have one housekeeping motion that we forgot to vote on before we left Ottawa. I think everyone will be in agreement with this. It's a normal motion for committees when they're on the road.
It reads:
Notwithstanding any routine motion, during the committee's meetings outside of Ottawa on the subject of the pre-budget consultations in advance of the 2017 budget, the chair shall not entertain any substantive motions.
(Motion agreed to)
Now back to business.
There were two groups, the Canada Green Building Council and the Pacific Salmon Foundation, that were scheduled for the nine o'clock session. Their plane is delayed. When they get here, we will give them the opportunity to speak.
We'll begin with the British Columbia Wine Institute, Miles Prodan.
Welcome, Miles, the floor is yours.
