Let's get started with our second hour.
I'd like to welcome Mr. Romer here today to talk to us a little bit about some of the things he's been working on. Mr. Romer is with the Stern School of Business in New York City. I know that he's done some work with the Macdonald-Laurier Institute here in Ottawa.
I'm just going to turn it over to you, sir. We'll give you 10 minutes or so to make your opening presentation, and then we'll go around the room and maybe follow it up with some questions.
Once again, thank you for coming up here today and spending some time with us. We look forward to hearing what you have to say.
