Hello, everybody. We're going to get going really quickly. We're going to have, from what I understand, about 30 minutes of debate, and then there will be about 30 minutes of bells, and I'll be asking for consent to steal about 15 minutes of that, which means we have about 45 minutes before we have to move.
I am recommending that we allow the witnesses who are here to make their presentations first and get through as many as we can. We're going to have to go back to the House for this vote and then come back after the vote and steal about another hour or so and continue with this presentation.
My apologies to all the witnesses, both those here and those joining us via video conference. We obviously would like to spend much more time with you, but as I'm sure you're seeing on CPAC, it's a little bit crazy today. It seems as though Wednesdays are going to be this way for the foreseeable future.
We are missing two members still, but I believe we have a quorum. I am going to suggest we move forward.
I'm going to introduce everybody who is here or coming to us via video conference. Then we're going to get started with presentations. Because of the number of people we have to get through, we should keep those to seven minutes maximum.
Via video conference from British Columbia we have Donalda Madsen.
From the Canadian Federation of Independent Business we have Corinne Pohlmann, senior vice-president of national affairs.
From Technicolor we have Didier Huck, vice-president of public affairs and corporate social responsibility at Moving Picture Company; Michelle Grady, head of film at Moving Picture Company; and Émilie Dussault, general manager at Moving Picture Company.
By video conference we have Teta Bayan from Caregivers' Action Centre.
Finally, we have Christopher Smillie, senior advisor, government relations and public affairs with Canada's Building Trades Unions.
Welcome, everyone.
That's a big group. We're going to try to get through as many as we can. With all due respect to those on video conference, we're going to allow the people who are here to speak first, and hopefully, we will have time to get to everybody.
I believe up first, from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, is Corinne Pohlmann.
Please go ahead for seven minutes. Thank you.
