I call the meeting to order.
Good afternoon again, members.
To our witnesses, who have taken the time today to join us in this important study on northern economic development, we appreciate your patience while we dealt with a matter of committee business that we were finishing up.
As you know--or as you may know--this is our second-last meeting on a study that we've been conducting to identify the barriers and solutions to economic development in Canada's north.
We're delighted to welcome each of you here today. I will introduce each of you independently.
Just following the normal routine here, we will invite an up-to-10-minute presentation from each of you. We'll do that in succession. At the end of those three presentations, we will open up the floor to questions from members. We'll give you a bit more instruction on that once we begin that process.
We'll start with the names as they're listed under the orders of the day today.
First I will invite Greg Missal to speak.
Did I pronounce that right, Greg?
