I call the meeting back to order.
We just had our first panel. Now we have our second panel of witnesses.
Again, this is the 120th meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance. We are in the pre-budget consultations right now in advance of the 2024 budget.
These witnesses who are before us will be our final witnesses before we get into the report stage. We look forward to hearing your testimony. Again, your testimony will be the final testimony we hear before our analysts and others, and the members, get to work on putting forward what they feel are the most important recommendations that they would like to see in the report.
With us today we have the Alliance des femmes de la francophonie canadienne and its president, Nour Enayeh. We also have its executive director, Soukaina Boutiyeb. We have Cascade Aerospace Inc. and its chief operating officer, Kevin Lemke. From MOSAIC, we have the chief executive officer, Olga Stachova, with us. From TransLink, we have the vice-president of customer communications, public affairs and brand marketing, Steve Vanagas.
The Vancouver Airport Authority is with us. We came through the Vancouver airport yesterday, and we'll be leaving through the Vancouver airport today. We have the vice-president and chief external affairs officer, Mike McNaney, and the director of government relations, Trevor Boudreau. We also have the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce's chief executive officer, Alex Mitchell, with us.
All of you will now have an opportunity to provide opening remarks. You'll have up to five minutes to do that.
We'll start with the Alliance des femmes de la francophonie canadienne, please.
