Thank you very much, both of you, for your presentations.
For the benefit of our committee and our panellists, we also expect a representative from the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce to be with us on this panel. She has not arrived yet. I assume she may be in transit. If she arrives, we will put her at the witness table and have her statement in the middle of the meeting. Until then, we'll commence with questions.
Mr. Whalen, we have you up first, for seven minutes, please.
