I would ask members to find their seats please. We have two sessions today, one from 3:30 to 4:15, and the second one from 4:15 to 5:30.
This is the 28th meeting of this session of the Standing Committee on Industry, Natural Resources, Science and Technology. We are continuing our study of the challenges facing the Canadian manufacturing sector and some of the solutions presented to those challenges.
We have witnesses: from Electro-Federation Canada, the president and CEO, Milos Jancik; the vice-president of the Electrical Equipment Manufacturers Association of Canada, Wayne Edwards; the president of W.C. Wood Company, Dave Wood; and Ernie Reynolds, vice-president and general manager of DSG-Canusa. Welcome.
I understand you'll be sharing the time allotted for the opening presentation of ten minutes. I believe, Mr. Jancik, you will be starting. Please start any time.
Thank you.
