I think everyone is here. In any event, I'll call the meeting to order.
As all witnesses know, this is the Standing Committee on Finance. Pursuant to Standing Order 83.1, we are doing consultations in advance of the 2017 budget.
The theme we're trying to work toward is what we have to do to achieve better economic growth in this country.
Welcome to the witnesses.
Usually when we have a new panel, because we don't expect all the witnesses to know all the MPs, I ask the MPs to introduce themselves. We'll start with Mr. Godin, who's the closest local MP.
Joël, you can introduce yourself, and then we'll go around the room and introduce the other MPs.
