Colleagues, we will begin our second hour.
I would like to take a moment to welcome our second panel of witnesses. From the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada, we have Mike Mueller, president and chief executive officer. From Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters, we have Mr. Alan Arcand, chief economist. From CropLife Canada, we are joined by Pierre Petelle, president and chief executive officer; and Émilie Bergeron, vice-president, crop protection.
I would like to remind participants of the following points. Please wait until I recognize you by name before you speak. For those participating by video conference.... Well, today it's just Dr. Martin. She knows how to do this.
I would like to remind witnesses that committee members may ask questions in either French or English. If you require translation, please have your earpiece on already so that we can run the meeting smoothly and take full advantage of the time allotted for questions and answers.
You will each have five minutes for your opening remarks.
With that, we will begin with Mr. Mueller from the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada.
