Good afternoon, everybody. The committee will come to order.
I have the pleasure of introducing a number of guests here today. From the Industrial Contractors Association of Canada, we have Tony Fanelli, vice-president and manager of labour relations. From Federally Regulated Employers - Transportation and Communications, otherwise known as FETCO, Derrick Hynes, the executive director, is here today. Thank you both for attending today.
From the Canadian Federation of Independent Business we have Daniel Kelly, president and chief executive officer. Thank you, sir, for again appearing. You're our first repeat customer in this Parliament. We didn't scare you too much the last time apparently, or you're a glutton for punishment; we're not sure which. No, I'm just teasing.
Welcome, MP Benson. Thank you for joining us today. I'll acknowledge John when he arrives as well.
We're going to get right into questions. We are back on Bill C-4. Let me ask the witnesses to introduce themselves and give a brief opening. We'll start with Tony Fanelli, please.
