We'll call the meeting to order. Under Standing Order 108(2), we are studying the second report of the Advisory Council on Economic Growth.
We would certainly like to thank two of the members of the minister's advisory council for coming today: Mr. Sabia and Ms. Treurnicht. Welcome.
As chair, I might say at the beginning that all members of the House thank you for the efforts you're putting into this advisory council and the good work that you do. We might not all agree on everything—that would be unusual around here—but a good effort opens up a lot of debate, and we appreciate the work you're doing.
I understand, and I think the committee is aware, that instead of the regular two hours, this meeting will be 90 minutes, as the advisory council members have other commitments—I believe some in the Senate.
I think you wanted to make a very brief introduction, and then we'll go to questions. Mr. Sabia, the floor is yours.
