Welcome. Again, thank you so much for your patience and allowing us to continue.
This is a very important study we're undertaking. Sometimes this happens, we just haven't exhausted all the questions, and so I hope we'll have the same wonderful response from the Mining Association and Canadian Association of Mining Equipment and Services for Export.
We have with us today, from the Canadian Association of Mining Equipment and Services for Export, Jon Baird; and from the Mining Association of Canada, Paul Stothart.
We certainly appreciate your coming, and we're looking forward to your testimony. We usually give you about 10 minutes if you have opening remarks. After that we will open up our line of questioning.
Go ahead, sir.
