I call the meeting to order.
Welcome to the 63rd meeting of the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology.
We have some motions we're going to deal with, but it seems there's agreement to go ahead with Ms. Sandy Walker, who is the only member of our first panel. As was casually discussed before the meeting, our witness from the C.D. Howe Institute will not be joining us today.
Sandy Walker is a partner of Fraser Milner Casgrain. Ms. Walker, we will begin with your opening remarks for five minutes and then we'll have a rotation of questions.
Please begin at your pleasure.
