We'll call the meeting to order. Today we have, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the study of economic growth in the territories, which partly relates back to our pre-budget hearings. Today we have as a witness the Honourable Robert McLeod, who is the premier.
Welcome, Mr. Premier. It's great to have you here.
Mr. Aumond, secretary to cabinet, welcome to you.
I know you did send in a brief that has been sent to all members, so we'll open it up to remarks from you. You're obviously a star because we have quite a few members at the committee who aren't normally here, such as Mr. Tootoo, Mr. McLeod, and Mr. Bagnell.
Welcome, Mr. Premier. The floor is yours.
