I'm going to call the meeting to order.
I'm going to start off by telling people that Mr. Warkentin is a father again. He has a beautiful baby girl, born on Father's Day. So he's not here today, and we have Mr. Merrifield instead of him—I hope you can come up to the task.
We're going to have two different panels before us today. We decided to divide it in two and invite Public Works as well, because we felt we couldn't just invite you gentlemen, much as we like you, and not give the chance to Public Works to respond or to address some of the issues you may bring up.
We have as witnesses, from the Canadian Business Information Technology Network, Mike O'Neil, who is the chair, and Jeff Lynt, who's a director; as well as David MacDonald, as an individual.
Usually we allow our witnesses to make a statement for up to 10 minutes. I don't know if you have one statement from Canadian Business Information Technology and then another statement from Mr. MacDonald.
Would you have a statement to give as well, Mr. MacDonald?
