We will reconvene. As people know, we are continuing on the study of pre-budget consultations for 2020.
First of all, I want to welcome everyone here—and Mr. Brunnen by video conference. I know that everyone received very short notice, so a heartfelt thanks to all of you for preparing your submissions. That goes for those who prepared pre-budget submissions that were in by the middle of August and those who have come forward tonight as witnesses.
We will have everyone present first. Then we will go to questions from members.
I guess we'll start with you, Mr. Brunnen, via video conference from Calgary, Alberta, for the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers. Please try to hold it to five minutes. The floor is yours.
