We're back.
This is meeting number 119 of the Standing Committee on Finance. We're doing our pre-budget consultations in advance of the 2024 budget.
For our second panel of witnesses, if you were not here, we were just talking about being delighted to be here in Edmonton, in beautiful Alberta, and to be on the ground, because we haven't done this for five years. It's been a long time since our committee has been able to travel, but we are travelling the country. We started in the Atlantic. Yesterday we were in Winnipeg; today we are here in Edmonton; and tomorrow we'll be in Vancouver before heading back to Ottawa.
We thank you for coming before us, and we look forward to hearing your testimony. At this time, you're going to have an opportunity to introduce yourselves in your opening remarks. You each have five minutes before we get into the members' questions.
With us today we have, from Edmonton Global, the chief executive officer, Malcolm Bruce. From Electric Mobility Canada, we have Daniel Breton, president and chief executive officer. From Fairness Alberta, we have Bill Bewick, executive director. From Friends of Medicare, we have Chris Gallaway, executive director. From the National Cattle Feeders' Association, we have Greg Schmidt from the board of directors, as well as the president and chief executive officer, Janice Tranberg.
We're going to hear your opening remarks right now, and we'll start with Edmonton Global, please.
