We'll begin our second panel with three mayors. We want to thank all of you for coming to Ottawa today.
From Perth we have the mayor, Mr. John Fenik; from Smith Falls we have the mayor, Mr. Dennis Staples; and from Merrickville-Wolford we have the mayor, Mr. Douglas Struthers. Welcome to you all.
We'll start with Mr. Fenik and work our way down. Since we have less than an hour, please make your presentations as brief as possible. You will find the exchange during the question-and-answer session very fruitful.
Mr. Fenik.
