Colleagues, the first hour today is to hear from officials from the CRTC. This was something the committee felt was important in our first meeting last week. The second hour will be the commencement of our study on productivity. At that point, we will need to very briefly suspend in order to accommodate the technological provisions that need to be put in place, as our guest will be joining us virtually.
Having said all of this, I would like to welcome a couple of folks here today.
I can remember in university knowing what CRTC was but not knowing the actual long form. I like that it's all coming full circle now and I have it here in front of my nose. We have, from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, Vicky Eatrides, who is the chairperson and the chief executive officer; Scott Hutton, who is the vice-president for consumer, analytics and strategy; and Scott Shortliffe, who is the vice-president for broadcasting.
Madam Eatrides, as the commissioner, I'm going to turn it over to you.
You have upwards of five minutes, give or take a little bit, if necessary, for opening remarks. We will then enter into a variety of lines of questioning, which have been divided in accordance with the seating in Parliament. That questioning will begin with my colleagues from the Conservative Party, the Liberal Party and the Bloc, and we will rotate from there.
If you have any questions at any point, please don't hesitate to ask. I will remind you that all questions and responses come through the chair.
With that, Madam Eatrides, I turn the floor over to you. Welcome to the industry committee.
