Welcome back, everybody.
Can I get everyone to take their seats? I don't mean to rush people along too much, but I need some time at the end here for some committee business. It may only take five minutes, but it's very important. We have a couple of things to discuss, so let's get through this.
Right now we have, from Unifor, Mr. Scott Hodge, vice-president, western region, local 2182. Good to see you, sir.
We also have Dale Gross, officer in charge of programs, MCTS, Canadian Coast Guard.
Both of you are entitled to your opening statements. Let's start with Mr. Gross.
