We will begin now.
We have five witnesses before us, representing four organizations.
Gentlemen, I know you've been briefed in advance, but we would ask that you keep your opening statements to five minutes or less, if possible. We have only an hour for this portion of our consultations this morning, so if you can keep it to five minutes that will give us approximately 40 minutes for Qs and As.
Colleagues on the committee, because of that I think we'll go with the same procedure we had for our first batch of intervenors, where everyone will have an opportunity for one question and answer portion.
Monsieur Perez, from the City of Montreal, I have you first on my list for your five-minute opening statement, please.
