We'll come to order.
As I explained before, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), this is the second segment of our eighth meeting for pre-budget consultations 2016.
For the interest of committee members, the minister's office has now notified us that the minister and the deputy minister will appear before committee on Tuesday between 11:30 and 12:30 in Room 237, which is across the hall. The officials will be with us from 12:30 to 1:30.
Committee members, we talked earlier this morning about accessing information on your iPad, such as briefs and so on, with the paperless technology. If anybody wants to get up to speed on how to do that, we'll be doing that from 11 to 11:30, because in any event, we have the space booked. It's up to you whether you want to come or not.
With that, we'll turn to the witnesses.
Thank you for coming. I know that Jerry Dias just got off a plane and barely got here.
We'll start with the Canadian Association of Oilwell Drilling Contractors.
Mr. Scholz.
