Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the 46th meeting of the Standing Committee on Industry, Science, and Technology.
We have a large number of guests, so I hope you'll accept my apologies that I'm going to do away with the formalities in introducing the guests.
Also, I'd like to mention that many of the members who are not here are tied up in the House, from all parties. That's why I'm proceeding. We don't need a quorum to take evidence, so the members who aren't here can obviously go back and look at the blues for the evidence that's given prior to their arriving.
Without any further ado, I'm going to go to our video conference first.
Mr. Davis, we'll let you go ahead with your opening remarks, please. I'll have to stay pretty disciplined at five minutes or under.
