I think we're all here.
Thank you, first, to the witnesses by video conference and those who are here for putting together presentations and coming on short notice for the pre-budget consultations 2020. I want to tell those who made submissions prior to the middle of August that the committee has decided to bring those forward and make part of the record and consideration for our recommendations when we get down to the final strokes on making recommendations, which we must put forward by February 28.
With that, we look forward to your presentations. We'll start with Mr. Lanthier as an individual. He is a retired partner of Ernst & Young, and former chair of the Canadian Tax Foundation.
Welcome, and the floor is yours.
