We will reconvene our the pre-budget consultation hearings for the 2020 budget.
To begin, I do want to thank all of the witnesses for coming here on very short notice. For those who made submissions in the spring and early summer prior to mid-August, the committee made a motion to bring those submissions forward. They will be considered in our recommendations, as they are considered part of the pre-budget consultations.
With that bit of introduction, we will start with the first witness, the Business Council of Canada, with Brian Kingston in his usual seat.
Go ahead, Brian.
