We have three panels today plus the open microphone. I understand that one of our members and one of the witnesses are in traffic. Mr. Deltell will be here at 9:30.
Welcome, folks. As you know the committee is holding pre-budget consultations in advance of the 2017 budget. Our theme for this set of hearings is economic growth. How do we achieve economic growth in the country?
For those who sent briefs, we have them. They were here in August. They've been translated, and are on our iPads.
What we like to do when we're travelling is have our members introduce themselves, so you know who you're talking to and what area of the country they come from.
We'll start with the Toronto representative, Mr. Sorbara.
