We are resuming our two-hour session here tonight. This is a continuation on the manufacturing sector.
We have five witnesses with us for our second hour of discussion. We'll try to keep our presentations, questions, and comments as brief as possible, in order to allow as many members as possible to speak.
We have Paul Hyatt with us, president of Superior Tire and Auto. Welcome, Mr. Hyatt.
We have from Tempress Ltd., Mr. Bill McLean, president. Welcome.
We have two guests from the Toronto Board of Trade: Mr. Jonathan Barry, senior member, economic development committee; and David Black, policy adviser. Welcome, Mr. Barry and Mr. Black.
Finally, from Celestica, we have Mr. John Sloan, vice-president of operations planning. Welcome.
Welcome to all of you.
I understand there will be four presentations. I know five minutes is a very short time, but if we could ask you to keep it within that, then we could have 20 minutes for opening statements and 40 minutes for questions and comments from the members.
We'll start with you, Mr. Hyatt, for a five-minute opening statement.
