Order. Pursuant to the order of reference of Wednesday, October 25, 2006, we will now continue to hear witnesses on Bill C-257, An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code.
Our order of business is to have some committee business and then some witnesses, but I'm just going to switch that around. We're going to have our committee business right after we hear from our witnesses.
I would like to thank all the witnesses for taking the time to be here today for this very important legislation. We're going to give each of you seven minutes for your opening remarks. and then we'll have a couple of rounds of questions—three rounds, if possible, but two rounds for sure—of seven minutes in the first round followed by a second round of five minutes. Any round after that will be five minutes as well. So if you're not able to get all your points out, hopefully you'll be able to during the questions and answers.
Joining us through video conference is Mr. Massy from Burnaby.
Can you guys hear us?
